摘要:
A high efficiency, low voltage defect laser, and a method of forming a high efficiency laser. The low voltage defect laser includes at least one p-clad layer, at least one n-clad layer, and at least one waveguide of at least a plurality of quantum wells. The at least one waveguide is sandwiched at least between the p-clad layer and the n-clad layer, and at least one permeable crystal layer may be embedded in the p-clad layer and immediately adjacent to the at least one waveguide. The method includes growing an AlGaAs layer atop a GaAs layer, etching of the AlGaAs into submicron structure, oxidizing the AlGaAs, SAG undoped growing of an SAG undoped GaAs atop the GaAs layer, and regrowing, with p++ doped GaAs, of a planar-buried p++ GaAs.
