Submilliamp Threshold InGaAs-GaAs Strained Layer Quantum-Well Laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strained layer InGaAs-GaAs single-quantum-well buried heterostructure lasers were fabricated by a hybrid molecular beam epitaxy and liquid phase epitaxy technique. Very low threshold currents, 2.4 mA for an uncoated laser ( L = 425 pm) and 0.75 mA for a coated laser ( R 0.9, L = 198 pm), were obtained. A 3 dB modulation bandwidth of 7.6 GHz was demonstrated at low bias current (14 mA).

InGaAs/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...
متن کاملLow-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 کاملCoupled strained-layer InGaAs quantum-well improvement of an InAs quantum dot AlGaAs–GaAs–InGaAs–InAs heterostructure laser
Data are presented showing that, besides the improvement in carrier collection, it is advantageous to locate strain-matching auxiliary InGaAs layers @quantum wells ~QWs!# within tunneling distance of a single-quantum-dot ~QD! layer of an AlGaAs–GaAs–InGaAs–InAs QD heterostructure laser to realize also smaller size QDs of greater density and uniformity. The QD density is changed from 2310/cm for...
متن کاملEnergy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...
