چکیده

A transistor laser (TL), having the structure of a transistor with multi-quantum wells near its base region, bridges the functionality gap between lasers and transistors. However, light emission is produced at the expense of current gain for all the TLs reported up to now, leading to a very low current gain. We propose a novel design of TLs, which have an n-doped InP layer inserted in the emitter ridge. Numerical studies show that a current flow aperture for only holes can be formed in the center of the emitter ridge. As a result, the common emitter current gain can be as large as 143.3, which is over 15 times larger than that of a TL without the aperture. Besides, the effects of nonradiative recombination defects can be reduced greatly because the flow of holes is confined in the center region of the emitter ridge.

GaAs quantum well laser and heterojunction bipolar transistor integration using molecular beam epitaxial regrowth

To explore monolithically integrated phototransmitters, a graded-index quantum well laser was integrated with a selectivity regrown heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT). The laser utilized a p-up configuration, and the HBT used collector down geometry. This scheme allowed the devices to be interconnected through the n +-GaAs substrate. The threshold current (It,,) for the ridge waveguide las...

Current Mirror Circuit with Accurate Mirror Gain for Low Β Transistors

A new current mirror with accurate mirror gain for low β transistors is presented. The new current mirror employs a cascoded output stage to provide high output impedance. High mirror gain accuracy is achieved by using a split-collector transistor to compensate for base currents of the source-coupled transistor pair. The split factor is dependent on the desired mirror gain and the nominal β value.

Theoretical analysis of the damping effect on a transistor laser

The impact of carrier pulling on the modulation characteristics of a transistor laser is discussed. The results of a theoretical analysis of modulation bandwidth and damping effect show that the carrier transport effect obtained by using a transistor laser allows for a gain compression factor of about one-tenth that of a conventional laser (0.7×1017 cm3), as well as for a maximum modulation ban...
