Multi-section gain-lever quantum dot lasers
The modulation characteristics of multi-section gain lever quantum dot lasers are investigated in this paper. A 20-dB enhancement in the amplitude modulation efficiency is observed in a two-section quantum dot laser. Based on rate equation analysis a novel modulation response equation is derived to describe the device dynamics. In addition the dependence of the modulation efficiency enhancement...
متن کاملSelf-tuned quantum dot gain in photonic crystal lasers.
We demonstrate that very few (2-4) quantum dots as a gain medium are sufficient to realize a photonic-crystal laser based on a high-quality nanocavity. Photon correlation measurements show a transition from a thermal to a coherent light state proving that lasing action occurs at ultralow thresholds. Observation of lasing is unexpected since the cavity mode is in general not resonant with the di...
متن کاملMechanism for enhanced wavelength tuning in gain-levered InP quantum dot lasers
Peak gain wavelength tuning via the gain-lever effect is demonstrated in segmented contact InP quantum dot Fabry–Perot lasers. A tuning range of 6.5 ± 0.1 nm was recorded in the lasing spectra of a 1.9 mm long broad area device operating at 22°C. The authors clarify the nature of the tuning mechanism and identify the critical material and device parameters that determine the limits of the wavel...
متن کاملGain competition in dual wavelength quantum cascade lasers.
We investigated dual wavelength mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers based on heterogeneous cascades. We found that due to gain competition laser action tends to start in higher order lateral modes. The mid-infrared mode with the lower threshold current reduces population inversion for the second laser with the higher threshold current due to stimulated emission. We developed a rate equation mod...
متن کاملInAsP quantum dot lasers grown by MOVPE.
We report on InAsP quantum dot lasers grown by MOVPE for 730-780 nm wavelength emission and compare performance with InP dot samples grown under similar conditions and with similar structures. 1-4 mm long, uncoated facet InAsP dot lasers emit between 760 and 775 nm and 2 mm long lasers with uncoated facets have threshold current density of 260 Acm(-2), compared with 150 Acm(-2) for InP quantum ...
