    Abstract: A method for producing a quantum cascade laser includes the steps of forming a laser structure including a mesa structure and a buried region embedding the mesa structure; forming a mask on the laser structure, the mask including a first pattern that defines a λ/4 period distribution Bragg reflector structure and a second pattern that defines a 3λ/4 period distribution Bragg reflector structure; and forming a first distribution Bragg reflector structure, a second distribution Bragg reflector structure, and a semiconductor waveguide structure by dry-etching the laser structure through the mask, the semiconductor waveguide structure including the mesa structure that has first and second end facets. The first distribution Bragg reflector structure is optically coupled to the first end facet. The second distribution Bragg reflector structure is optically coupled to the second end facet. Here, λ denotes a value of an oscillation wavelength of the quantum cascade laser in vacuum.

    Abstract: An optical semiconductor apparatus includes: semiconductor laser devices having different emission wavelengths and grouped into at least a first group and a second group; and an arrayed waveguide grating connected to the semiconductor laser devices of the first and second groups and configured to combine laser light beams radiating from the semiconductor laser devices into a same point. The arrayed waveguide grating is configured to combine laser light beams from the semiconductor laser devices belonging to the first group into the same point by diffraction in a first diffraction order in the arrayed waveguide grating, and combine laser light beams from the semiconductor laser devices belonging to the second group into the same point by diffraction in a second diffraction order different from the first diffraction order, in the arrayed waveguide grating.

    Abstract: A semiconductor surface emitting laser (SEL) includes an active zone comprising quantum well structures separated by spacer layers. The quantum well structures are configured to provide optical gain for the SEL at a lasing wavelength, λlase. Each quantum well structure and an adjacent spacer layer are configured to form an optical pair of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The active zone including a plurality of the DBR optical pairs is configured to provide optical feedback for the SEL at λlase.

    Abstract: A multicolor photonic crystal laser array comprises pixels of monolithically grown gain sections each with a different emission center wavelength. As an example, two-dimensional surface-emitting photonic crystal lasers comprising broad gain-bandwidth III-nitride multiple quantum well axial heterostructures were fabricated using a novel top-down nanowire fabrication method. Single-mode lasing was obtained in the blue-violet spectral region with 60 nm of tuning (or 16% of the nominal center wavelength) that was determined purely by the photonic crystal geometry. This approach can be extended to cover the entire visible spectrum.

    Abstract: An edge-emitting semiconductor laser includes a first waveguide layer, into which an active layer that generates laser radiation is embedded. The laser also includes a second waveguide layer, into which no active layer is embedded. The laser radiation generated in the active layer forms a standing wave, which has respective intensity maxima in the first waveguide layer and corresponding intensity minima in the second waveguide layer and respective intensity minima in the first waveguide layer and corresponding intensity maxima in the second waveguide layer at periodic intervals in a beam direction of the semiconductor laser. An at least regionally periodic contact structure is arranged at a surface of the edge-emitting semiconductor laser. A period length of the contact structure is equal to a period length of the standing wave, such that the semiconductor laser has an emission wavelength that is set by the period length of the contact structure.
