High-efficiency native-oxide-passivated high-index-contrast ridge waveguide lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A GaAs-based high-index-contrast ridge waveguide laser is fabricated using a self-aligned process of deep dry etching plus oxygen-enhanced wet thermal oxidation of low Al-content AlGaAs. Lasers operating at l1⁄4 813 nm (CW, 300 K) with external differential quantum efficiencies as high as 78% are demonstrated, indicating effective passivation of the directly-oxidised etched active region sidewall surface.

Nonselective oxidation of GaAs-based III-V compound semiconductor heterostructures for in-plane semiconductor lasers
A nonselective wet thermal oxidation technique for AlGaAs-containing heterostructures has been shown to enable the fabrication of a variety of novel high-efficiency, high-power GaAs-based in-plane laser devices. Applied in conjunction with a deep anisotropic dry etch, nonselective oxidation yields a simple, self-aligned high-index-contrast (HIC) ridge waveguide (RWG) structure. The native oxide...
متن کاملA 35 : Impurity - doped Micro - lasers
Rare-earth-ion-doped monoclinic potassium double tungstates KY(WO4)2, KGd(WO4)2, and KLu(WO4)2 are excellent host materials for solid-state lasers [1]. High-quality KY(WO4)2 optical waveguides were grown and laser operation was demonstrated for the first time [2]. Co-doping a KY(WO4)2 layer with Gd 3+ and Lu 3+ ions allows for lattice-matched layers with increased refractive index contrast with...
متن کاملNarrow ridge waveguide high power single mode 1.3-μm InAs/InGaAs ten-layer quantum dot lasers
Ten-layer InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As quantum dot (QD) laser structures have been grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on GaAs (001) substrate. Using the pulsed anodic oxidation technique, narrow (2 lm) ridge waveguide (RWG) InAs QD lasers have been fabricated. Under continuous wave operation, the InAs QD laser (2 · 2,000 lm) delivered total output power of up to 272.6 mW at 10 C at 1.3 lm. Under p...
متن کاملHigh Power 1300 nm Fabry-Perot and DFB Ridge Waveguide Lasers
In this paper we summarize the results [1] on the development of high power 1300 nm ridge waveguide Fabry-Perot and distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers. Improved performance of MOCVD grown InGaAsP/InP laser structures and optimization of the ridge waveguide design allowed us to achieve more than 800 mW output power from 1300 nm single mode Fabry-Perot lasers. Despite the fact that the beam aspect...
متن کاملC- and L-band erbium-doped waveguide lasers with wafer-scale silicon nitride cavities.
We report on integrated erbium-doped waveguide lasers designed for silicon photonic systems. The distributed Bragg reflector laser cavities consist of silicon nitride waveguide and grating features defined by wafer-scale immersion lithography and a top erbium-doped aluminum oxide layer deposited as the final step in the fabrication process. The resulting inverted ridge waveguide yields high opt...
