Low threshold cw laser emission from a semiconductor disk laser emitting at 1260nm was demonstrated. Using high quality metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (GaIn) (NAs) material, nonradiative processes could be minimized. As a consequence, threshold pump power densities have been reduced down to 5kWcm2. The capture efficiency of carriers into the quantum wells was found to be uncritical.
