Low Threshold Current Density and High Efficiency Surface-Emitting Lasers with a Periodic Gain Active Structure

We have achieved very low threshold current densities with high light output powers for InGaAs / GaAs surface-emitting lasers using a periodic gain active structure in which three quantum wells are inserted in two-wavelength-thick (2λ) cavity. Air-post type devices with a diameter of 20~40 μm exhibit a threshold current density of 380~410 A/cm². Output power for a 40 μm diameter device reaches over 11 mW. A simple theoretical calculation of the threshold and power performances indicates that the periodic gain structure has an advantage in achieving low threshold current density mainly due to the high coupling efficiency between gain medium and optical field. The deterioration of power, expected from the long cavity length of 2λ, is negligible.     

Analysis of monolithic integrated master oscillator poweramplifiers

An analysis of a novel, monolithic integrated master oscillator power amplifier (M-MOPA) is presented. The M-MOPA consists of a DBR master oscillator which injects power into a linear chain of amplifiers and detuned second-order grating output couplers. The analysis self-consistently includes amplified spontaneous emission buildup and residual reflections throughout the amplifier stages. It predicts that output powers in excess of 1 W can be expected from a single-lateral-mode waveguide multistage amplifier less than 1 cm in length, injected with less than 15 mW of input power. In addition to the signal gain of >25 dB, the signal-to-noise ratio at 1-W output exceeds 15 dB. Because of the small reflections associated with the grating output couplers, and gain saturation by the injected signal, the amplifier self-oscillation threshold is suppressed to current densities above 15 kA/cm²

A short-period GaAs-AlGaAs quantum-wire array laser with a submicrometer current blocking layer

The structure and device characteristics of a 700-nm-pitch GaAs-AlGaAs quantum-wire array laser (QWAL) with a dielectric defined current blocking layer are reported. The high wire density of the QWAL has been expected to yield more efficient carrier capture, but large spacing between the quantum wires was found to deteriorate the laser characteristics. In this work, we have improved electrical confinement into the active regions by incorporating a SiO/sub 2/ film onto the large spacing. Room-temperature pulsed operation with an output power of 9 mW at 191-mA injection current was achieved for a 200/spl times/500 /spl mu/m laser with uncoated facet. The threshold current density was 0.14 kA/cm/sup 2/. The dependence of the threshold current and the maximum power on the cavity length and width was also studied.     

Large CW power, very-low-threshold, single transverse modeoperation of vertical cavity mushroom structure surface emitting lasers

Summary form only given. Continuous-wave GaAs mushroom structure surface emitting laser (MSEL) operation at a threshold current as low as 1.6 mA, an output power >2.0 mW, and a single transverse mode up to three times threshold current is reported. The relatively large CW output power was achieved by reducing the series resistance using a selective zinc diffusion. The low threshold current and single-mode operation are attributed to good lateral current confinement in a small constricted region formed by mesa undercutting. The complete device was mounted junction-side up on a chip carrier and tested CW at room temperature. Some results are given     

High-Performance 1.55-$mu$ m Superluminescent Diode With Butt-Coupled Spot-Size Converter

We report the design and fabrication of a novel 1.55-m spot-size converter superluminescent diode (SLD) for optical access networks. The active section of SLD was fabricated by using a planar buried heterostructure to adopt the double-waveguide-core structure for low-threshold and high-output power operation at a low injection current. A ridge-based passive waveguide was employed for an efficient coupling to a planar lightwave circuit. The threshold current was as low as 14 mA, and the maximum output power was as high as 28 mW with ripple less than 3 dB at an injection current of 200 mA.
