Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for maintaining wavelength-locking of a Fabry-Perot laser regardless of a change of external temperature even though a temperature controller is not used, and a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) light source using the method, as an economical light source used in a WDM optical communication field. The WDM light source comprises a Fabry-Perot laser for injecting spectrum-spliced incoherent light to amplify and output only an oscillation mode matching with a wavelength of the injected light, and a bias controlling unit for adjusting a bias current supplied to the Fabry-Perot laser to a value adjacent to a threshold current of the Fabry-Perot laser, whose threshold current is changed according to a temperature and a relationship between the injected light changed depending to a temperature and a wavelength of the oscillation mode. Therefore, the bias current having a value adjacent to the threshold current of the Fabry-Perot laser is supplied to the Fabry-Perot laser, so that the Fabry-Perot laser can maintain an excellent transmission characteristic regardless of a change of temperature even though a temperature controller is not used.
Abstract:
An optical transmitter module for creating an optical signal having the same wavelength as an incoherent light inputted thereinto is provided. The module includes a substrate, a multi-layer crystal growth layer including a first area for amplifying the incoherent light and the optical signal and a second area for creating an optical signal having the same wavelength as the incoherent light amplified by means of the first area, and an electrode unit for independently injecting currents into the areas of the multi-layer crystal growth layer. A light generated at a broadband light source is spectrum-sliced and injected into the optical transmitter module so that a wavelength division multiplexing light source is realised.
Abstract:
A method of growing a semiconductor layer in a selective area by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and a mask pattern for s ame, includes a first mask pattern and a second mask pattern that are formed on a semiconductor substrate having a (100) crystalline plane. The first mask pattern has a first window wider than the selective area and a second mask pattern has a second window and a third window. The second window is defined by spacing the second mask pattern from the first mask pattern, in correspondence with a blocking area for blocking the surface migration of III-group semiconductor source gases at edges of the first window. The third window is as wide as the selective area. The semiconductor layer is grown by MOCVD on the semiconductor substrate exposed by the second and third windows. Trenches can be etched in the second and third windows and growth layers extend from the trench beyond the surface of the InP to block gas dispersion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to high power semiconductor laser device and method for fabricating the same utilizing ion implanting process, by which a beam steering phenomenon of an optical output due to filaments is eliminated. This elimination is achieved by a periodically varying gain given for a resonator of the semiconductor laser device. That is, this invention changes a gain distribution which causes the generation of filaments in the resonator into different distribution. According to the present invention, there is formed an insulation layer through ion implantation to an active layer to adjust current density implanted to the active layer, thereby eliminating non-uniform distribution of the light along the longitudinal direction of the resonator.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for fabricating a planar buried heterostructure laser diode, comprising the steps of sequentially forming a first clad layer, an undoped active layer and a second clad layer on a substrate so as to complete a first crystal growth; forming a patterned mask layer on the second clad layer; non-selectively etching the second clad layer, the active layer, the first clad layer and the substrate using the mask layer as an etching mask; selectively etching the substrate and the first and second layers; sequentially forming a first and second current blocking layers on a structure formed by the selective etching step so as to complete a second crystal growth; sequentially forming a third clad layer and an ohmic contact layer thereon after removal of the mask layer so as to complete a third crystal growth; and forming a first electrode on a rear surface of the substrate and forming a second electrode on a surface of the third clad layer. By the method, a leakage current induced in an interface between the active layer and the first current blocking layer provided therein can be reduced in proportion to a distance between the active layer and the second current blocking layer formed on the first current blocking layer, and therefore performance of the laser diode can be enhanced.
