چکیده
Room-temperature (RT) pulsed operation of blue (420 nm) nitride-based multiquantum-well laser diodes grown on a-plane and c-plane sapphire substrates has been demonstrated. Structures investigated include etched and cleaved facets as well as doped and undoped quantum wells. A combination of atmospheric and low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition using a modified two-flow horizontal reactor was employed. Threshold current densities as low as 12.6 kA/cm2 were observed for 1

Dry-etching and characterization of mirrors on III-nitride laser diodes from chemically assisted ion beam etching
Vertical mirrors have been fabricated with chemically assisted ion beam etching (CAIBE) on OMVPE grown InGaN/AlGaN laser diode structures. AFM measurements show that smooth vertical sidewalls are obtained which exhibit a root mean squared (rms) roughness of only 40—60 A _ . The inclination angle of the etched mirrors is within $2° of vertical, as SEM studies indicate. Photopumping measurements ...
متن کاملInGaAs/GaAs quantum well lasers with dry-etched mirror passivated by vacuum atomic layer epitaxy
We report measurements of strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum well laser diodes with electron cyclotron resonance ~ECR! plasma etched mirrors that are passivated and smoothed with a novel technique involving the selective area growth of GaAs by vacuum atomic layer epitaxy. The threshold current of as-cleaved, etched, and passivated devices has been studied and a significant improvement in mirror feedb...

Results are presented on laterally-coupled distributed feedback (LC-DFB) ridge laser diodes. The cpitaxial regrowth required in most distributed feedback devices is eliminated by using lateral evanescent coupling of the field to gratings etched along the sides of the ridge. A pulsed single-mode output power of 36 mW per facet was achieved at 937.5 nm with a sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR) of ...
متن کاملAngle-Etched Facet Laser Arrays (Fan Laser Arrays)
We present a novel individually addressable diode laser array that uses angle-etched facets. By arranging the lasers in a fan-like structure, all lasers emit in different directions from a common effective aperture. Using this device design, we demonstrate lasers with beam directions that are fixed and distinct, stable, single mode, and capable of simultaneous and random access operation. We an...

20 where K is a coefficient which is given by gain, the size of a laser diode, internal quantum efficiency, and a confinement factor; ae,f is an internal loss; Re and R, are the reflectivities of the etched and cleaved facets, respectively. We can evaluate Re by measuring the threshold current as a function of the cavity length and by using a typical value of 0.32 for R,. The results are shown ...
