Toward soliton emission in asymmetric GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well waveguide structures below the half-bandgap.

چکیده
We report what is to our knowledge the first experimental evidence of nonlinear beam displacement in a strip-loaded GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well waveguide with an asymmetric, nonlinear cladding. An intensity-dependent spatial displacement of ~2 mum was observed for the guided mode at a wavelength of 1.55 mum. Numerical simulations that correspond to the experiment are also presented. The device has the potential of providing a soliton-emission-based, ultrafast all-optical switch.

Gain optimization of the optical waveguide based on the quantum box core/shell structure
In order to implement an integrated optical quantum circuit, designing waveguides based on the quantum box is of prime importance. To do this we have investigated optical waveguide both with and without optical pumping. The rate of absorption and emission using an array of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum box core/shell structure in the optical waveguide with various pumping intensities has computed. By con...

We report the use of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser irradiation technique to enhance the interdiffusion of Ga-Al, and hence the quantum well intermixing (QWI), in GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well (DQW) structures. Multiphoton interactions with carriers lead to phonon emission; the phonons interact with lattice thus generating point defects, which diffuse during subsequent annealing stage in a rapid the...

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.

متن کاملBelow-band-gap waveguiding behaviors of a weakly index-guided GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well laser
We report the reduced waveguiding efficiency for the signals around 1560 nm as the injection current of an GaAs/ AlGaAs multiple quantum well laser diode (lasing wavelength at 840 nm) with a ridge-loading waveguide configuration increased. This reduction trend stopped when the injection current reached the threshold condition of the laser diode. The decreased waveguide transmission and the more...
