Lithographic lasers with low thermal resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data are presented demonstrating a low thermal resistance lithographic laser. An 8 mm vertical-cavity surface emitting laser defined using lithography and epitaxial crystal growth provides output power of 14 mW, slope efficiency of 0.88 W/A corresponding to differential quantum efficiency of 70% and power conversion efficiency of 26%. Low thermal resistance, even without heatsinking, results in high output power densities owing to better heat spreading through the epitaxial structure for small lasers.

Improving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...

This paper describes a six-mask fabrication process for vacuum-sealed microsystems including pressure and flow sensors, reaction chambers and reservoirs, and channels ranging from 100 nm to 10 μm in hydraulic diameter. All structures are countersunk into a glass substrate, resulting in a planar upper surface that eliminates stress concentrations and also facilitates further lithographic process...
