AIGaAs inverted strip buried heterostructure lasers
نویسنده
چکیده
Inverted strip buried heterostructure lasers have been fabricated. These lasers have threshold currents and quantum efficiencies that are comparable to those of conventional buried heterostructure lasers. The optical mode is confined by a weakly guiding strip loaded waveguide which makes possible operation in the fundamental transverse mode for larger stripe widths than is possible for conventional buried heterostructure lasers. Scattering of the laser light by irregularities in the sidewalls of the waveguide, which can be a serious problem in conventional buried heterostructure lasers, is also greatly reduced in these lasers.

Mass - Transported GaInAsP / InP Lasers
A new microfabrication technique, mass transport, has made possible the development of a new breed of semiconductor laser devices. Mass-transported buried-heterostructure GaInAsP lasers are ideally suited for application in optical-fiber communication systems. In fact, the technology for mass-transported buried-heterostructure lasers has been transferred to a commercial fabricator, and these la...

Low-threshold JnGaAS/GaAS strained-layer quantum well lasers (X=O.98 n.m) with GaInP cladding layers grown by chemical beam epitaxy
Strained InGaAS/AIGaAS quantum well (QW) lasers operating at 0.98 jim are currently of great interest due to their suitability for pumping erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. They are reported to yield a lower noise figure and higher gain coefficient than the 1 .48 jim InGaAsflnP pump lasers as well as 0.8 p.m A1GaAS/GaAS pump lasers. In addition, the InGa.AS/AIGaAS strained QW lasers have lower thr...
متن کاملSize Effect on ESD Threshold and Degradation Behavior of InP Buried Heterostructure Semiconductor Lasers
Optoelectronic components such as laser diodes and light-emitting diodes are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical overstress (EOS). In this paper, we extensively study the size effect on ESD performance of buried heterostructure (BH) distributed feedback (DFB) InGaAsP/InP lasers. We show that the ESD threshold and degradation behavior of BH lasers are correlated with the c...
