    摘要: An active semiconductor device that performs in a substantially polarization independent manner. A quantum well waveguide is intermixed by intermixing atoms across an interface between well and barrier layers. The atoms include at least 2 groups wherein intermixing of one group is at a substantially greater rate than another group. Cations are interdiffused at a greater rate than said anions across interfaces between well and barrier layers. The intermixing must be sufficient to provide strain within layers of the waveguide and sufficient to at least partially degenerate light hole and heavy hole bands of the structure. Preferably intermixing is sufficient to completely degenerate light hole and heavy hold bands to essentially produce a device that is completely polarization independent.

    摘要: A method of selectively tuning the bandedge of a semiconductor heterostructure includes repeatedly forming a disordered region that is spatially separated from a quantum well active region and subsequently annealing the heterostructure each time after the disordered region is formed, so that vacancies/defects in the disordered region diffuse into the quantum well region and enhance interdiffusion at the well-barrier heterojunctions. Repeating, the disordering followed by annealing allows for a greater range in bandgap tuning. The heterostuctures of interest are IH-V material systems, such as AlGaAs/GaAs, where the active region includes structures such as a single quantum well, a multiple quantum well, or a superlattice.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor heterostructure includes the growth of a quantum well active region that is highly lattice-mismatched relative to a substrate. A buffer layer having a thickness above a critical value is grown on the substrate whereby the stress due to a lattice constant mismatch between the buffer layer and substrate is relieved through the formation of misfit dislocations. A strained superlattice structure is grown on the buffer layer in order to terminate any upwardly-propagating dislocations. An unstrained barrier layer is subsequently grown on the superlattice structure. The fabrication method concludes with the growth of a quantum well structure on the unstrained layer wherein a lattice constant mismatch between the quantum well structure and the unstrained barrier layer is smaller than the lattice constant mismatch between the quantum well structure and the substrate. As a result, only a fraction of the stress due to the large lattice mismatch between the quantum well structure and the substrate is accommodated by coherent strain in the quantum well structure, while the remainder of the stress is relieved through the formation of misfit dislocations spatially separated from the quantum well structure.

    摘要: An apparatus for coupling light from a laser chip into an unetched and uncoated optical fiber includes a substrate carrier having a V-groove extending axially through the substrate carrier. The fiber has a beveled end with an inner and outer face and is positionable in the plane of the laser chip within the V-groove such that light emitted by the laser chip strikes the inner face of the beveled end and is totally internally reflected into the fiber core.

    摘要: A method of selectively tuning the bandedge of a semi-conductor heterostructure includes forming a disordered region which is spatially separated from a quantum well active region, and subsequently annealing the heterostructure so that vacancies/defects in the disordered region diffuse into the quantum well region and enhance interdiffusion at the well-barrier heterojunctions. The tuning is spatially selective when the heterostructure is masked so that exposed portions correspond to regions where bandgap tuning is desirable. The heterostructures of interest are III-V material systems, such as AlGaAs/GaAs, where the active region includes structures such as a single quantum well, a multiple quantum well, or a superlattice.
