波导层结构设计是制备太赫兹(THz)量子级联激光器的关键问题之一.本文基于德鲁得(Drude)模型,利用时域有限差分(FDTD)法,对Si/SiGe量子级联激光器的波导层进行优化设计,从理论上对传统的递变折射率波导、单面金属波导、双面金属波导以及金属/金属硅化物波导横磁模(TM模)的模式损耗和光场限制因子进行了对比分析.结果表明,金属/金属硅化物波导不但可以减小波导损耗,而且有很高的光学限制因子,同时其工艺也比双面金属波导容易实现,为Si/SiGe太赫兹量子级联激光器波导层的设计提供了一定的理论指导. 相似文献

A quantum cascade laser with a porous waveguide structure emitting at 4.5μm is reported.A branchlike porous structure filled with metal material was fabricated on both sides of the laser ridge by an electrochemical etching process.In contrast to the common ridge waveguide laser,devices with a porous structure give rather better beam quality.Utilizing this porous structure as a high-order mode absorber,the device exhibited fundamental transverse mode emission with a nearly diffraction limited far-field beam divergence angle of 4.9°. 相似文献

Quantum-cascade distributed-feedback lasers (QCDFB) with a grating close to the active region are reported. Feedback is provided by the grating in a refractive index-dominated coupling scheme. Reliable single-mode emission at /spl lambda//sub cm//spl ap/5.4 /spl mu/m with a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) /spl ap/30 dB is observed. The laser is continuously tunable over 40 nm with a coefficient of /spl Delta//spl lambda///spl Delta/T/spl ap/0.37 nm/K in the temperature range from 200 K to 300 K. Comparison with Fabry-Perot QC lasers shows an overall improved performance of QC-DFB lasers. 相似文献

Design procedure for the active region of current pumped quantum cascade laser is proposed, so to achieve maximal gain. Starting with an arbitrary smooth potential, a family of isospectral Hamiltonians with predefined energy spectrum is generated using the inverse spectral theory. By varying the relevant control parameter the potential shape is varied, inducing changes in transition dipole moments and electron-phonon scattering times, and the optimal potential which gives the largest gain is thus found. For purpose of realization, a simple step quantum-well structure with just a few layers is then designed so that in the post-growth heating-induced layer interdiffusion, it will acquire a shape as close as possible to the optimal smooth potential. 相似文献

A new design for an injectorless quantum cascade laser resulting in a threshold current density of 0.57 kA/cm2 at 300 K and a maximum operation temperature of 360 K is presented. The active zone is realised in the strain compensated material system Al(In)As-(Ga)InAs using AlAs barriers for increasing the T0 and InAs for strain compensation. Additionally the laser performance was improved compared to previous work. 相似文献

A quantum cascade (QC) laser is presented that is both temporally and wavelength multiplexed, i.e. it emits two widely different wavelengths at two alternate time slots. A bidirectional and multi-wavelength QC laser source that emits at 10.8 m wavelength for a positive polarity current and 8.6 m for a negative polarity current was used. A diode based adder circuit was designed to drive the QC laser such that it added two opposite polarity current pulses with a variable time delay. Application of two polarity 100 ns pulse width current pulses at 80 kHz with time delays of 0.5 to 2.5 s resulted in a versatile time and wavelength multiplexed QC laser. 相似文献
