Using of Broadened Asymmetric Waveguide Structure for 980nm Diode Laser
Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...
متن کاملStructural and optical properties of epitaxially overgrown third-order gratings for InGaN/GaN-based distributed feedback lasers
Laser-diode heterostructures of InGaAlN containing a third-order diffraction grating for distributed optical feedback have been examined with transmission electron microscopy ~TEM! and scanning electron microscopy ~SEM!. The grating was defined holographically and etched by chemically assisted ion-beam etching into the upper GaN confinement layer of the laser structure. After the etch step, it ...
متن کاملExternal cavity diode laser setup with two interference filters
diode lasers (ECDLs) are an excellent choice in many cases [1] and are specifically used because of their low cost and the broad wavelength availability, which covers almost the entire spectrum from the near-infrared to near-ultraviolet. The first compact ECDL setup for single-frequency operation using a grating for the external cavity was described by Ted Hänsch in 1995 [2] and has remained an...
متن کاملDesign of a new asymmetric waveguide in InP-Based multi-quantum well laser
Today, electron leakage in InP-based separate confinement laser diode has a serious effect on device performance. Control of electron leakage current is the aim of many studies in semiconductor laser industry. In this study, for the first time, a new asymmetric waveguide structure with n-interlayer for a 1.325 μm InP-based laser diode with InGaAsP multi-quantum well is proposed and theoreticall...
متن کاملSilver-clad nitride semiconductor laser diode
An edge-emitting laser diode is described in which the epitaxial upper cladding layer is replaced with a metal contact selected for its optical as well as electrical properties. The structure is demonstrated with an In0.1Ga0.9N multiple-quantum-well laser diode operating at 412 nm with silver rather than the typical p-type AlGaN for the upper cladding. Silver is effective as a cladding layer be...
