    摘要: A surface-emitting semiconductor laser device is provided that includes an edge-emitting laser integrated in a semiconductor material with various reflectors and a diffractive lens. The edge-emitting laser has a first section comprising an active MQW region, a second section comprising a passive region and a third section comprising a semi-insulating or un-doped semiconductor bulk layer. This configuration ensures that the injection current will pass through all of the layers of the active region, thereby preventing the occurrence of optical losses due to un-injected areas of the MQW active region. In addition, the inclusion of the passive region ensures that there is no current passing through the interface between the active MQW region and the regrown semiconductor bulk layer. The latter feature improves performance and device reliability.

    摘要: An EML assembly is provided that has and EAM and a DFB, with the DFB having an asymmetric ¼ wavelength phase shift positioned at a location that is in front of the center of the periodic structure of the DFB. In addition, the EML assembly has a tilted or bent waveguide that reduces reflections occurring at the front end facet, thereby enabling the EAM to produce a relatively high POUT level while also achieving reduced chirp and high single-mode yield in the DFB. By providing the EML assembly with a tilted or bent waveguide, the reflections at the front end facet are reduced without having to use an AR coating on the front end facet that has an extremely low reflectivity. By avoiding the need to use an AR coating on the front end facet that has an extremely low reflectivity, the AR coating that is used on the front end facet can be made using standard sputter deposition techniques to enable higher manufacturing yields to be achieved.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser device includes an edge-emitting laser monolithically integrated with a diffractive lens formed on the chip surface to emit a focalized or collimated beam in a direction perpendicular to the surface. An upper reflective surface and an angled reflective surface are formed in the chip upper surface. A lower reflective surface is formed in the chip lower surface. The laser, angled reflective surface, upper reflective surface, lower reflective surface and diffractive lens are oriented in relation to one another so that a first portion of the light emitted by the laser impinges directly upon the upper reflective surface, which reflects it onto the angled reflective surface, while a second portion of the light emitted by the laser impinges directly upon the angled reflective surface. The angled reflective surface reflects the light portions onto the lower reflective surface, which in turn reflects them through the diffractive lens.

    摘要: A surface-emitting semiconductor laser device that includes an edge-emitting laser formed in layers of semiconductor material disposed on a semiconductor substrate, a polymer material disposed on the substrate laterally adjacent the layers in which the edge-emitting laser is formed, a diffractive or refractive lens formed on an upper surface of the polymer material, a side reflector formed on an angled side reflector facet of the polymer material generally facing an exit end facet of the laser, and a lower reflector disposed on the substrate beneath the polymer material. Laser light passes out of the exit end facet and propagates through the polymer material before being reflected by the side reflector toward the lower reflector. The laser light is then re-reflected by the lower reflector towards the lens, which directs the laser light out the device in a direction that is generally normal to the upper surface of the substrate.

    摘要: A SAG technique is used to grow the ridge structure in a photonic semiconductor device, such as an electroabsorption modulator integrated with a distributed feedback laser (EML) assembly. The adoption of this SAG technique to grow the ridge structure results in the formation of a self-assembled and self-aligned ridge structure that has a very precise configuration. The use of this process enables straight, bent and tilted ridge structures to be formed with high precision. In addition, because the ridge structure is self-assembled and self-aligned, a lesser number of processing steps are required to create the photonic device in comparison to the known approach that uses wet chemical etching techniques to form the ridge structure. The high precision of the ridge structure and the lesser number of processing steps needed to create the device increase manufacturing yield and allow overall cost of the device to be reduced.
