A distributed feedback structure includes a substrate material. An active layer has an alloy including at least one of aluminum, gallium, indium, and nitrogen. A first cladding, having an alloy including at least one of the aluminum, the gallium, the indium, and the nitrogen, is on a first side of the active layer. A second cladding, having an alloy including at least one of the aluminum, the gallium, the indium, and the nitrogen, is on a second side of the active layer. Periodic variations of refractive indices in at least one of the first and second claddings provide a distributed optical feedback.

摘要:
A method and structure for nitride based laser diode arrays on an insulating substrate is described. Various contact layouts are used to reduce electrical and thermal crosstalk between laser diodes in the array. A channel structure is used to make a surface emitting laser diode while maintaining a simple contact structure. Buried layers are used to provide a compact and low crosstalk contact structure for the laser diode array.

Approaches for substantially removing bulk aluminum nitride (AlN) from one or more layers epitaxially grown on the bulk AlN are discussed. The bulk AlN is exposed to an etchant during an etching process. During the etching process, the thickness of the bulk AlN can be measured and used to control etching.
