    摘要: The present invention provides a self-aligned laser structure that can be fabricated on a p-substrate and provides a means for limiting the leakage current thereby improving the overall efficiency of the structure. The waveguide laser structure comprises a first series of layers deposited in sequence upon a p-InP, p-GaAs or p-GaN substrate or other form of p-substrate, wherein these layers form the p-clad layer. An active layer is subsequently deposited upon this first series of layers. A blocking layer of insulating or semi-insulating material is deposited upon the active layer, wherein this blocking layer has a trench formed therein, wherein this semi-insulating layer or layers are epitaxially deposited. The blocking layer provides a means for limiting current flow therethrough, thereby reducing leakage current. Upon the blocking layer are deposited a second series of layers completing the laser structure, wherein this second series of layers form the n-clad layer. Since the n-clad layer contains more than one material, the structure provides lateral waveguiding. Upon the completion of the deposition of all of the layers, a positive electrode is formed on the bottom surface of the first series of layers and a negative electrode is formed on the top of the second series of layers.

    摘要: A transmit optical subassembly (TOSA) includes a spot-size-converted (SSC) semiconductor laser coupled to an optical fiber without a lens or isolator. The spot-size-converted semiconductor laser includes an active region and an expander region that expands the spot size of the laser while maintaining efficient active laser performance. The SSC laser is coupled to a submount and passively aligned to an optical fiber positioned within a V-shaped groove formed within the submount. The SSC laser includes a narrow far field advantageous for providing a high coupling efficiency and high quality data transmission. The SSC laser is resistant to back reflection and produces a 1.3 or 1.55 micron optical wavelength and a data rate ranging from 1 to 10 Gbps. The TOSA provides high coupled power due to narrow far field, with potential extra reflection resistance due to absorption and mode transfer losses in coupling reflections through the expander back into the active region. The TOSA meets industry specifications (SDH/SONET) for 15 km transmission and has a maximum optical path penalty of less than 1 dB at a bit error ratio of 10null10 for up to null14 dB back reflection.

    摘要: An optical filter is formed from at least two grating located in a waveguide region of a semiconductor optical device. Each grating has a multiple peak optical passband. The gratings are spaced apart in the waveguide region and form an optical cavity having a comb-filter characteristic. The gratings may be located in the active region of an optical gain element and in a preferred example are superstructure gratings (SSGs). A number of filters may be joined together in series.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser device includes a ridge waveguide having two side surfaces, a crystalline burying layer disposed at both side surfaces of the ridge waveguide, and a second conductivity type contact layer disposed on the burying layer and the ridge waveguide. The burying layer includes a first conductivity type first current blocking layer in contact with the side surfaces of the ridge waveguide, a second conductivity type second current blocking layer disposed on a portion of the first current blocking layer and separated from the ridge waveguide by a portion of the first current blocking layer near the ridge waveguide, a first conductivity type third current blocking layer disposed on a portion of the first current blocking layer near the ridge waveguide and on the second current blocking layer, and a second conductivity type final burying layer disposed on the third current blocking layer. In this structure, there is no pn junction at a regrowth interface between the final burying layer and the contact layer so that reduction in the forward voltage of the pn junction in continuous operation is avoided and increasing leakage current is suppressed so that the threshold current and light output of the laser do not deteriorate over time.
