Highly reliable distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes operating at 1.5-μm wavelength range are fabricated through optimizing the device parameters. Thickness control of the active layer is found to be an essential factor in achieving low threshold operation of DFB lasers. The threshold current as low as 11 mA and stable single longitudinal mode CW operation up to 106°C is achieved with these DFB lasers. 相似文献

Direct modulation properties of BIG-DBR-DSM lasers were investigated by measuring both the time-averaged and the time-resolved spectra. A high side-mode-suppression ratio of more than 30 dB was obtained from time-averaged measurements with the modulation frequency in the range of 250 MHz-2 GHz. The dynamic wavelength shift at - 3 dB level obtained from both time-averaged and time-resolved measurements was less than 2 Å. Time-resolved measurements showing an oscillatory behavior of the dynamic wavelength shift with both red and blue shifts were also observed. Calculations based on a numerical solution of the rate equations, which agreed quantitatively with the measurement, indicate a line width enhancement factor estimated to lie between 3.5 and 5.5. 相似文献

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study in terms of small-signal gain, signal gain saturation, and noise characteristics of a 1.5 μm GaInAsP traveling-wave amplifier (TWA), realized through the application of SiOx film antireflection coatings. This TWA, having a residual facet reflectivity of 0.04 percent, exhibits a wide, flat signal gain spectrum and a saturation output power of +7 dBm at a 20 dB signal gain. The TWA also has a noise figure of 5.2 dB, which is the smallest value reported for semiconductor laser amplifiers. The experimental results are confirmed to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions based on the multimode traveling-wave rate equations in conjunction with the photon statistic master equation analysis, which takes into account the amplifier material and device structural parameters. Signal gain undulation, saturation output power, and noise figure are also theoretically evaluated as functions of the facet reflectivity. The superior performance of the TWA demonstrates that the device is favorable for use in linear optical repeaters in fiber transmission systems. 相似文献

Spectral linewidth of a 1.5 μm range distributed feedback buried heterostructure (DFB-BH) laser in CW operation is estimated theoretically and experimentally. Considering the equivalent mirror facet loss coefficient and the confinement factor in the active layer, etc., we modified the conventional formula for the spectral linewidth of single-mode semiconductor lasers and presented a formula for the linewidth of DFB lasers. Furthermore, power-dependent linewidth measurements of a 1.5 μm range InGaAsP/InP DFB-BH laser with a window region were carried out using Fabry-Perot interferometers. The linewidth was observed to increase linearly with inverse output power. The measured result was explained by the calculated result through the modified formula. The full width at half maximum was estimated to be 50 MHz at an output power of 1 mW. 相似文献

A single wavelength light source in 1.5-μm range was developed using InGaAsP/InPlambda/4 -shifted distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor heterostructures. Superiority of thelambda/4 -shifted DFB structure in terms of stability of the main mode at the Bragg wavelength was shown theoretically, in which the threshold, the output, and the polarization characteristics were taken into account. Alambda/4 -shifted corrugated grating was made by a newly developed negative and positive photoresists technique. Buried heterostructure (BH) diode lasers with nonreflective window ends were fabricated and highly stable single-mode operation with a low threshold was obtained reproducibly. Direct modulation properties and life-tests results indicated that thelambda/4 -shifted DFB lasers could be a reliable single-mode light source in a long span lightwave transmission system in 1.5-μm range. 相似文献

Stable high-power CW operation of 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP p-substrate buried crescent laser diodes (PBC-LD'S) has been realized, by controlling the front and rear facet reflectivities of the laser diode chips. The front facet reflectivity is reduced to 17 percent and the rear facet reflectivity is increased to 90 percent, by evaporating multilayer dielectric films (Si/Al2 O3 SiO2 :17 percent, SiO2 /Si/SiO2 /Si/SiO2 :90 percent) on each facet. CW light output power of 50 mW is achieved up to 60°C. Aging tests have been carried out under automatic power control (APC) mode conditions of 50°C-30 mW, 40 mW, 50 mW, and 30°C-50 mW. All samples are operating stably in spite of junction-up configuration. The lifetimes are estimated to be more than2 times 10^{4} h for all conditions. 相似文献

The effect of mirror facets on lasing properties of distributed feedback (DFB) InGaAsP/InP laser diodes was studied theoretically and experimentally. A DFB laser with a window region was found to be suitable to examine the effect of mirror facets. The effective reflectivity of a window structure was calculated to be very small, typically as small as 0.03 percent for a few tens of micrometers of the window region. These small effective reflectivities were experimentally confirmed. Three kinds of DFB lasers, i.e., a double-window (DW), a single-window (SW), and a Fabry-Perot (FP), were discussed. Two modes with a separation corresponding to a so-called stopband appeared in a DW-DFB laser, in which almost no reflection at both ends was estimated. On the other hand, the threshold and the resonant wavelength of an SW- and an FP-DFB laser were found to be sensitive to the phases of corrugation at the facets. It turned out, however, that the mirror facet contributed to the single-mode operation due to an asymmetric resonant spectrum and to the reduction in the threshold. Although a low-threshold-current FP-DFB laser was experimentally obtained, the coincidence between the gain peak and the Bragg wavelengths was essential in this type. The SW-DFB laser seemed the most promising among the three types in terms of the stability of the single-mode operation. 相似文献

The noise and gain characteristics of a 1.5μm resonant semiconductor laser amplifier have been measured. A heterodyne detection scheme was used to measure the gain and noise properties relevant to coherent communication applications. Measurements were made with the amplifier operating in unsaturated, saturated, and injection-locked regimes. Unsaturated internal gain as high as 29 dB was measured with the amplifier operating close to threshold. Measured signal-to-noise ratios agree well with calculated results and are 9 dB below the input quantum shot noise limit. A degradation in the amplifier performance is observed when operated above or at threshold. Gain saturation for high input powers also degrades the noise characteristics of the amplifier. 相似文献

Lasing characteristics of InGaAsP/InP distributed feedback (DFB) lasers in the 1.5 μm range were studied theoretically and experimentally. Wave propagation in five-layer DFB waveguides were analyzed to estimate the effect of the structural parameters on threshold conditions. A brief consideration on designing a low threshold laser and its lasing wavelength was made. DFB buried heterostructure lasers with fundamental grating emitting at 1.53 μm were prepared by liquid phase epitaxial techniques. CW operation was confirmed in the temperature rangeof -20° to 58°C, and a CW threshold current was as low as 50 mA at room temperature. A stable single longitudinal mode operation was observed both in dc condition and in modulated condition by a pseudorandom pulse current at 500 Mbits/s. No significant increase in the threshold current was observed after 1400 h continuous CW operation at 20°C. 相似文献

We have developed an InGaAsP/InP separated multiclad layer (SML) stripe geometry laser emitting at 1.5 μm wavelength. In this laser, the optical confinement is done by the effective refractive index step owing to the formation of the coupled waveguide outside the stripe region. The current confinement is done by the p-n-p-n structure outside the stripe region. The CW threshold current at 25 °C is only 82 mA for the stripe width and the cavity length of 6 μm and 250 μm, respectively. The maximum temperature where the CW lasing is obtained is 65°C. The characteristic temperature of the threshold current is 60 K. The transverse mode is fundamental up to 1.8 times the threshold. Ten samples are operated at 50°C with constant optical output of 5 mW/facet. These samples are still operating at over 10 000 h with a slight increase in the driving current. The appreciable change in the characteristics due to aging is not observed. 相似文献

An external-cavity laser consisting of a 1.5 ?m-wavelength antireflection-coated DFB laser chip, a microscope objective and a mirror provides a stable, single-frequency, narrow-linewidth (?f=40 kHz) output. Because the laser operates in the strong feedback regime, it is immune to external optical perturbations. Single-longitudinal-mode operation is maintained by the DFB grating, and the linewidth is reduced by the extended passive cavity. 相似文献

GaInAsP 1.5 mu m DFB lasers with a low threshold current (17 mA) have been grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) in a two-step epitaxial process. The lasers exhibit single-mode emission for emitted power in excess of 10 mW with side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB and spectral linewidth of 15 MHz. In addition the dispersion of the lasing wavelength has been found to be as low as 1.7 nm.<> 相似文献

A single-step low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) was applied to the fabrication of 1.5 μm InGaAsP/InP distributed feedback laser diodes on corrugated InP substrates, accompanied by LPE for buried heterostructure formation. High probability of single longitudinal mode operation was obtained due to the uniformity of the active layer thickness. A typical threshold current was 35 mA with both facets cleaved. A maximum output power of up to 27 mW was also obtained under single longitudinal mode operation with anti-reflective/cleaved facet configuration. The laser diode had high spectral stability under high-frequency direct modulation of 1.4 GHz. Results of initial aging tests (APC of 5 mW at 25°C for longer than 3800 h) have shown no degradation in driving currents. It is found that low-pressure MOVPE is favorable for epitaxial growth on corrugated substrates. 相似文献

A bandwidth of 13 GHz has been attained in a 1.3 μm DFB laser at 25 °C. A mesa structure was introduced to reduce the parasitic capacitance and the lasing wavelength was detuned from the gain peak to increase the differential gain. This bandwidth is the widest so far reported in 1.3 μm DFB lasers. 相似文献

In our fabrication of a 1.3 μm band high-power BH laser on a p-type InP substrate, 79 mW CW laser output was obtained, and the spectrum width was 10 nm at 50 mW; it also obtained a high-power pulse output of more than 200 mW at 30 ns pulse width. It shows high-speed pulse response at 2 Gbits/s. These CW and pulse lasing characteristics are reported in this paper, and we also show the output and threshold current distribution of about 1000 samples from six wafers. This high-power laser is very useful for light sources of measuring instruments. 相似文献

Investigations on 1.3 μm DCPBH laser diodes under high electrical stress are reported. Leakage currents are identified by electro-and photoluminescence. Experiments on laser diodes with additional collector contacts to the n-InP floating layer show that blocking layer leakage is strongly enhanced by transistor action. The observed aging behavior is described. Excellent stability is observed for our diodes, more so after stress testing. It is found that stress test aging of diodes from moderate quality wafers, which typically still strongly levels off in time, is not caused by an increase in leakage current via the blocking layers, but by an increased leakage in and/or around the mesa. Though transistor action has a strong influence on device performance at high currents, thyristor breakover is shown to be absent in DCPBH-diodes: primarily due to lateral conduction in the blocking layers. Experimentally, thyristor breakover could be obtained by restricting the lateral conduction to about the channel width or less. 相似文献
