Abstract
The temperature dependence of the threshold current and the efficiency of GaInAsP/InP lasers was discussed including all possible mechanisms which can cause the strong temperature dependence of the threshold current. It was shown that the break in the temperature-threshold curve is mainly due to the intervalence band absorption. The influence of laser parameters is discussed.
