N2 - We study the current-controlled lasing switching from the ground state (GS) to the excited state (ES) transition in broad-area (stripe width 100 µm) InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dot (QWD) and quantum well (QW) lasers. In the lasers with one QWD layer and a 0.45 µm-thick GaAs waveguide, pure GS lasing takes place up to an injection current as high as 8 A (40 kA/cm 2 ). In contrast, in QW lasers with a similar design, ES lasing emerges already at 3 A (15 kA/cm 2 ). The ES lasing in the QWD lasers is observed only in the devices with a waveguide thickness of 0.78 µm that supports a 2nd order transverse mode at the wavelength of the ES transition. Increasing the modal gain in the lasers with 0.78 µm-thick waveguide by using two QWD layers in the active region suppresses the ES lasing.
