Oxide defined TJS lasers in InGaAsP/InP DH structures (original) (raw)
1979, IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics
AI-generated Abstract
Oxide defined transverse junction stripe (TJS) lasers have been developed using InGaAsP/InP double heterostructures (DH) with all epitaxial layers n-type. The laser emission operates at 1.18 µm at room temperature and demonstrates single longitudinal mode operation at lower temperatures, specifically up to 130 K. Higher temperatures lead to the activation of parallel electron injection which causes conventional DH laser operation. The findings indicate that while TJS lasers are functional at low temperatures with low threshold currents and stable output, challenges remain as temperature increases.

Beam-quality measurements on the output of a 915-nm AlGaAs-InGaAs-GaAs slab-coupled optical waveguide laser (SCOWL) are reported. This device had a nearly circular mode (3.8 m by 3.4 m 1 2 widths in the near-field) and was capable of a single-ended continuous-wave output power of greater than 1 W. Measurements of 2 indicate that the SCOWL output beam is nearly diffraction-limited in both directions with 2 2 1 1 over the entire range of output powers measured.
Study of the characteristics of 1.55 μm quantum dash/dot semiconductor lasers on InP substrate
Applied Physics Letters, 2008
InAs quantum dash ͑QDH͒ and quantum dot ͑QD͒ lasers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InP substrate are studied. The laser active zones with multiple stacked layers exhibit lasing wavelength at 1.55 m. On these devices, the experimental threshold current density reaches its minimum value for a double stacked QDH/QD structure. Other basic laser properties such as gain and quantum efficiency are compared. QD lasers exhibit better threshold current densities but equivalent modal gain per layer than QDH. Finally, the analysis of the modal gain on QD lasers shows a promising potential for improvement.
High-power continuous-wave operation of a InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot laser

A 1 W continuous-wave laser operation via the ground state of vertically coupled InGaAs quantum dots ͑VCQDs͒ in an AlGaAs matrix is demonstrated. VCQDs are directly revealed in transmission electron microscopy images of the laser structure. Ninety-six percent internal quantum efficiency is realized. The laser gain maximum shifts significantly with drive current towards higher photon energies in agreement with the relatively broad size distribution of VCQDs. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. ͓S0021-8979͑98͒01210-9͔

We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of the temperature dependence of the threshold current for double quantum well GaInNAs-GaAs lasers in the temperature range 10 C-110 C. Pulsed measurements of the threshold current have been performed on broad and narrow ridge wave guide (RWG) lasers. The narrow RWG lasers exhibit high characteristic temperatures ( 0 ) of 200 K up to a critical temperature ( ), above which 0 is reduced by approximately a factor of 2. The 0 -values for broad RWG lasers are significantly lower than those for the narrow RWG lasers, with characteristic temperatures on the order of 100 (60) K below (above) . Numerical simulations, using a model that accounts for lateral diffusion effects, show good agreement with experimental data and reveal that a weakly temperature dependent lateral diffusion current dominates the threshold current for narrow RWG lasers.
