Submicrometer Linewidth Metrology
In 1987, the semiconductor industry was undergoing a technological transition into the submicrometer range of device dimensions. Small dimensions that are very important to device performance or yield are called critical dimensions (CD). Optical metrology technology was adequate to measure the critical dimensions above 1 m, but as these dimensions shrunk into the submicrometer regime, the indus...
متن کاملAll-electrical frequency noise reduction and linewidth narrowing in quantum cascade lasers.
A novel all-electrical method of frequency noise reduction in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) is proposed. Electrical current through the laser was continuously adjusted to compensate for fluctuations of the laser internal resistance, which led to an active stabilization of the optical emission frequency. A reduction of the linewidth from 1.7 MHz in the standard constant current mode of operation...
متن کاملrf linewidth reduction in a quantum dot passively mode-locked laser subject to external optical feedback
The effect of external optical feedback on an InAs/GaAs quantum dot passively mode-locked laser is investigated. The RF linewidth narrows from 8 KHz in the free-running situation to a value as low as 350 Hz under relatively low feedback. The RF linewidth characterization under resonant feedback at a multiple of the laser cavity length validates the prediction of a previous numerical simulation....
متن کاملNarrow-Linewidth Distributed Feedback Channel
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a distributed feedback channel waveguide laser in erbium-doped aluminium oxide on a standard thermally oxidized silicon substrate. Holographically-written surface-relief Bragg gratings have been integrated with the aluminium oxide waveguides via reactive ion etching of a silicon dioxide overlay film. The laser operates at a wavelength of 1545...
متن کاملSpectral linewidth in microcavity surface-emitting lasers
The Schawlow-Townes expression for the laser linewidth predicts a substantial cw linewidth enhancement in microcavity lasers, in which a large fraction of spontaneous emission is directed into the lasing mode, in contrast with conventional semiconductor lasers, in which the lasing mode accepts only a tiny fraction of spontaneously emitted photons. By performing a theoretical analysis of rigorou...
