    Abstract: A buried hetero-structure laser diode is disclosed. The buried hetero-structure is formed by growing a double hetero-structure on a substrate. The double hetero-structure comprises two cladding layers spaced apart by a narrow bandgap active layer. Two spaced apart channels are etched in the double hetero-structure down to the lower cladding layer to define a mesa therebetween. Current blocking layers are deposited in the channels and on the portions of the double hetero-structure located outside the channels. The liquid phase epitaxy growth conditions are such that while the blocking layers are deposited in the channels and outside the channels, the upper cladding layer portion of the mesa is being melted back. Thus, the ends of the blocking layers touching the melted back mesa are separated from the active layer portion of the mesa by a thickness substantially less than the thickness of the upper cladding layer as measured in the regions outside the channels.

    Abstract: In the fabrication of buried heterostructure InP/InGaAsP lasers, mask undercutting during the mesa etching step is alleviated by a combination of steps which includes the epitaxial growth of a large bandgap InGaAsP cap layer (1.05 eV.ltorsim.E.sub.g .ltorsim.1.24 eV) and the plasma deposition of a SiO.sub.2 etch masking layer. Alternatively, the cap layer may be a bilayer: an InGaAs layer or narrow bandgap InGaAsP (E.sub.g .ltorsim.1.05 eV), which has low contact resistance, and a thin InP protective layer which reduces undercutting and which is removed after LPE regrowth is complete. In both cases, etching at a low temperature with agitation has been found advantageous.

    Abstract: Thermal degradation of compound single crystal substrates (e.g., InP) containing a relatively volatile element (e.g., P) prior to LPE growth has been virtually eliminated by an improved protection technique. A partial pressure of the volatile element is provided by a solution (e.g., Sn-In-P) localized inside a chamber which is external to the LPE boat and which surrounds substrate prior to growth, thereby preventing thermal damage to the substrate surface. Applicability of the technique to other epitaxial growth processes (e.g., VPE and MBE) is also discussed.

    Abstract: An optical connection for connecting an active optical device (6,52) or a passive optical device (41,63) to an optical fiber (3), having a thick metal coating (2) deposited circumferentially around the fiber. In this optical connection the device (6,52,41,63) is bonded to the polished endface of the fiber (5), with particular use being made of the thick metal surface (7) on the endface of the fiber. In another embodiment, the optical fiber (3) is etched to form various surfaces (31,32,33) for optical coupling. This etching also allows for accurate passive alignment of an etched active device (52) or a passive device (42,63) with the optical fiber.
