摘要: A wavelength tunable laser includes: a heating layer, a dielectric layer, reflectors, a transport layer, a support layer, and a substrate layer. The heating layer is located above the transport layer; the transport layer is located above the support layer, and the transport layer includes an upper cladding layer, a waveguide layer, and a lower cladding layer from top to bottom; the reflector is located in the transport layer; the support layer has a protection structure, where the protection structure forms a hollow structure together with the transport layer and the substrate layer, and the hollow structure has a support structure; and the substrate layer is located below the support layer. The heating layer, the reflector, and a part of the transport layer form a suspended structure to prevent heat dissipation. Thus thermal tuning efficiency can be improved, and power consumption can be lowered.

摘要: A Dual-wavelength hybrid (DWH) device includes an n-type ohmic contact layer, cathode and anode terminal electrodes, first and second injector terminal electrodes, p-type and n-type modulation doped QW structures, and first through sixth ion implant regions. The first injector terminal electrode is formed on the third ion implant region that contacts the p-type modulation doped QW structure and the second injector terminal electrode is formed on the fourth ion implant region that contacts the n-type modulation doped QW structure. The DWH device operates in at least one of a vertical cavity mode and a whispering gallery mode. In the vertical cavity mode, the DWH device converts an in-plane optical mode signal to a vertical optical mode signal, whereas in the whispering gallery mode the DWH device converts a vertical optical mode signal to an in-plane optical mode signal.

摘要: In a semiconductor laser according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a ridge part has a structure in which a plurality of gain regions and a plurality of Q-switch regions are each disposed alternately with each of separation regions being interposed therebetween in an extending direction of the ridge part. The separation regions each have a separation groove that separates from each other, by a space, the gain region and the Q-switch region adjacent to each other. The separation groove has a bottom surface at a position, in a second semiconductor layer, higher than a part corresponding to a foot of each of both sides of the ridge part. The semiconductor laser includes an electrode provided over the bottom surface of each separation groove with an insulating layer being interposed therebetween.

摘要: Some embodiments relate to a method for manufacturing a vertical cavity surface emitting laser. The method includes forming an optically active layer over a first reflective layer and forming a second reflective layer over the optically active layer. Forming a masking layer over the second reflective layer, where the masking layer leaves a sacrificial portion of the second reflective layer exposed. A first etch is performed to remove the sacrificial portion of the second reflective layer, defining a second reflector. Forming a first spacer covering outer sidewalls of the second reflector and masking layer. An oxidation process is performed with the first spacer in place to oxidize a peripheral region of the optically active layer while leaving a central region of the optically active layer un-oxidized. A second etch is performed to remove a portion of the oxidized peripheral region, defining an optically active region. Forming a second spacer covering outer sidewalls of the first spacer, the optically active region, and the first reflector.

摘要: A distributed feedback (DFB) laser outputting a predetermined wavelength of laser light includes a quantum well active layer positioned between a p-type cladding layer and an n-type cladding layer in thickness direction. The DFB laser includes a separate confinement heterostructure layer positioned between the quantum well active layer and then-type cladding layer. The DFB laser includes an electric-field-distribution-control layer positioned between the separate confinement heterostructure layer and then-type cladding layer and configured by at least two semiconductor layers having band gap energy greater than band gap energy of a barrier layer constituting the quantum well active layer. The DFB laser has a function to select a specific wavelength by returning a specific wavelength in the wavelength-variable laser.

摘要: A VCSEG-DFB laser, fully compatible with MGVI design and manufacturing methodologies, for single growth monolithic integration in multi-functional PICs is presented. It comprises a laser PIN structure, in mesa form, etched from upper emitter layer top surface through the active, presumably MQW, gain region, down to the top surface of the lower emitter. Lower electrical contacts sit adjacent the mesa disposed on the lower emitter layer with upper strip contacts disposed atop the upper emitter layer on the mesa top. An SEG is defined/etched from mesa top surface, between the upper strip contacts, through upper emitter layer down to or into the SCH layers. Vertical confinement is provided by the SCH structure and the lateral profile in the bottom portion of the mesa provides lateral confinement. The guided mode interacts with the SEG by the vertical tail penetrating the SEG and evanescent field coupling to the SEG.
