Two different waveguide structures of Fabry-Perot lasers emitting at a wavelength of 1.55 μm are fabricated. The influence of an effective lateral refractive index step on the maximum output power is investigated. A cw single mode output power of 165mW is obtained for a 1-mm-long uncoated laser.展开更多

Using two-step growth method and thermal cyclic annealing, a thin low-temperature InP layer and a thick InP buffer layer are grown on GaAs substrates by low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition technology. Then, high- quality MQWs laser structures are grown on the InP buffer layer. Under quasi-continuous wave （QCW） condition, a threshold current of 476 mA and slope efficiency of 0.15 mW/mA are achieved for a broad area device with 50 μm wide strip and 500 μm long cavity at room-temperature. The peak wavelength of emission spectrum is 1549.5 nm at 700 mA. The device is operating for more than 2000 h at room-temperature and 600 mA.展开更多

In the case of low applied electric field （F = 25 kV/cm） and low absorption loss （a ≈ 100 cm^-1）, a large field-induced refractive index change （for TE mode, △n = 0.0106; for TM mode, △n = 0.0115） is obtained in QSCQW structure at operating wavelength λ = 1550 nm. The value is larger by over one to two order of magnitude compared to that in a rectangular quantum well （RQW） and about 50% larger than that of five-step asymmetric coupled quantum well （FACQW） structure under the above work conditions.展开更多
