SPICE simulation for analysis and design of fast 1.55 μm MQWlaser diodes

A rate equation model for static and dynamic behavior of 1.55 μm InGaAsP multiquantum-well (MQW) semiconductor lasers has been developed. A three level scheme for the rate equations has been chosen in order to model carrier transport effects. The introduction of quasi-two dimensional (quasi-2-D) gateway states between unbound and confined states has been used to calculate, for each well independently, carrier density and gain, allowing to take nonuniform injection into account. Starting from the formal identity between a rate equation and a Kirchoff current balance equation at a capacitor node, the model has been implemented on a SPICE circuit emulator, SPICE has granted an easy handling of parasitics and opens the possibility of integration with electrical components. The model's parameters have been directly derived from a complete set of measurements on real devices. Thanks to this characterization and the model accuracy, we have obtained good agreement between simulations and experimental data. The model was finally used to improve both static and dynamic properties of MQW devices. Based on this optimization, compressive strained InGaAsP-InP MQW Fabry-Perot lasers were realized, achieving low threshold current, high efficiency, and more than 10 GHz of direct modulation bandwidth     

Evaluation of an automatic method to extract the grating couplingcoefficient in different types of fabricated DFB lasers

Distributed feedback (DFB) laser parameters such as grating coupling coefficient, effective indices, facet reflectances, and the phases of facet reflectances have been determined using a method based on least-square fitting of theoretical spectra to measured, subthreshold DFB laser emission spectra. The only inputs needed are geometrical parameters such as length, grating period, and internal grating phase shifts. A larger number of devices have been successfully characterized, and consistent results have been obtained in both 1.3-μm multi-quantum-well (MQW) DFB lasers with both facets as-cleaved, and in 1.55-μm MQW DFB lasers with no, one, or two facets as-cleaved     

The improvement in modulation speed of GaN-based Green light-emitting diode (LED) by use of n-type barrier doping for plastic optical fiber (POF) communication

We demonstrate a high-speed GaN-based light-emitting diode at a wavelength of around 500 nm for the application to plastic optical fiber communication. By use of the n-type doping in the GaN barrier layers of the In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/N-GaN-based multiple-quantum-well (MQW), superior performance of modulation-speed (120 versus 40 MHz) and output power to the undoped control under the same bias current has been observed. According to the measured electrical-to-optical bandwidths and extracted RC-limited bandwidths of both devices, the superior speed performance can be attributed to higher electron/hole radiative recombination rate in the n-doped MQW than that of undoped MQW.     

Scanning differential spreading resistance microscopy on actively driven buried heterostructure multiquantum-well lasers

We have developed a new scanning probe microscopy-based technique, scanning differential spreading resistance microscopy (SDSRM), which enables the determination of free carrier distribution inside operating electronic and optoelectronic devices. The results of our SDSRM study of multiquantum-well (MQW) buried heterostructure (BH) lasers under zero and forward biases are reported. Individual QW-barrier layers can be resolved in high-resolution SDSRM. The SDSRM results show different internal carrier distribution within the MQW active region in BH lasers with and without biases and provide direct experimental evidence of electron overbarrier leakage. Our results demonstrate the utility of SDSRM to delineate quantitatively the transverse cross-sectional structure of complex two-dimensional devices such as MQW BH lasers under operating conditions, in which traditional probing such as secondary ion mass spectroscopy, scanning spreading resistance microscopy, and electron beam-induced current microscopy can either apply only to devices under zero bias or provide only qualitative pictures.     

Multiple quantum well PIN optoelectronic devices and a method of restoring failed device characteristics

Multiple quantum well (MQW) optical modulators have a wide range of applications in fiber-optic and remote communication systems. One of the challenges in producing reliable devices is maintaining the necessary PIN electrical characteristics while having large areas of complex MQW structures for optical processing. We report the first direct correlation between crystalline material imperfections and reverse bias behavior in MQW PIN devices. Molecular beam epitaxy grown GaAs/AlGaAs and strained InGaAs/AlGaAs MQW PIN structures are examined. Defects originating in the epitaxial material provide a conducting path along the PIN junction degrading the device performance and lowering the yield. Defectectomy, a method of eliminating the crystalline defects and restoring the device characteristics and improving the yield is described.     

InGaAs-InP P-I (MQW)-N surface-normal electroabsorption modulatorsexhibiting better than 8:1 contrast ratio for 1.55-μm applicationsgrown by gas-source MBE

We report growth of In_0.53Ga_0.47 As-InP multiple quantum well (MQW) modulators operating at 1.55 μm for fiber-to-the-home applications. By employing a 200-period InGaAs-InP MQW stack in the intrinsic region of a p-i-n structure and working in reflection, we have been able to realize surface-normal modulator devices that exhibit better than an 8:1 contrast ratio. This is the highest contrast ratio reported to date for this type of device working at this wavelength     

Recent advances in Sb-based midwave-infrared lasers

Several midwave-infrared (MWIR) lasers have been demonstrated, including 2.8-, 3.1-, 3.2-, 3.4-, 4.1-, and 4.3-μm diodes. The devices utilize multiple-quantum-well (MQW) active regions in which the quantum wells (QW's) consist of InAs-GaInSb broken-gap superlattices (BGSL's). InGaAsSb barrier layers separate the BGSL wells, and InAs-AlSb superlattices are employed as cladding layers. We have observed pulsed laser operation up to 255 K with 3.2-μm devices. Typical pulsed output powers for these devices at 200 K are over 50 mW
