摘要: A laser module includes a QCL element, a diffraction grating portion, a first lens member configured to be disposed between the first end face and the diffraction grating portion, and a second lens member configured to be disposed at a position facing a second end face of the QCL element, and a package configured to house the QCL element, the diffraction grating portion, and the first lens member. A distance in an X-axis direction between an incident surface of the first lens member on which the first light is incident and the first end face is shorter than a distance in the X-axis direction between an incident surface of the second lens member on which the third light is incident and the second end face.

摘要: A laser module according to an embodiment includes a QCL element, a diffraction grating portion configured to diffract and reflect first light emitted from a first end face of the QCL element and return second light to the first end face, and a first portion configured to be disposed between the first end face and the diffraction grating portion, allow the first light and the second light to pass therethrough, and collimate the first light. When viewed from a Y-axis direction, the diffraction grating portion is inclined with respect to a Z-axis direction. A position of a beam waist of the first light collimated by the first portion in an X-axis direction is located between a position of one end of the diffraction grating portion in the Z-axis direction and a position of the other end of the diffraction grating portion in the Z-axis direction.

摘要: A quantum cascade laser includes a substrate having a group III-V compound semiconductor and a core region that is provided on the substrate and that includes a group III-V compound semiconductor. The core region includes a plurality of unit structures that are stacked on top of one another. Each of the plurality of unit structures includes an active layer and an injection layer. The injection layer includes at least one strain-compensated layer including a first well layer and a first barrier layer and at least one lattice-matched layer including a second well layer and a second barrier layer. The first well layer has a lattice constant larger than a lattice constant of the substrate. The first barrier layer has a lattice constant smaller than the lattice constant of the substrate. The second well layer and the second barrier layer each have a lattice constant that is lattice-matched to the substrate.

摘要: Building blocks are provided for on-chip chemical sensors and other highly-compact photonic integrated circuits combining interband or quantum cascade lasers and detectors with passive waveguides and other components integrated on a III-V or silicon. A MWIR or LWIR laser source is evanescently coupled into a passive extended or resonant-cavity waveguide that provides evanescent coupling to a sample gas (or liquid) for spectroscopic chemical sensing. In the case of an ICL, the uppermost layer of this passive waveguide has a relatively high index of refraction that enables it to form the core of the waveguide, while the ambient air, consisting of the sample gas, functions as the top cladding layer. A fraction of the propagating light beam is absorbed by the sample gas if it contains a chemical species having a fingerprint absorption feature within the spectral linewidth of the laser emission.

摘要: An interband cascade laser including: a ridge waveguide having alternating first and second regions; wherein the first region has a constant width, and the second region has a width that matches that of the first region at boundaries between the first region and the second region, and the width of the second region increases to a maximum that is larger than the width of the first region, such that a partially-corrugated sidewall along each side of the ridge waveguide is formed; wherein the first region comprises a grating structure, and due to periodic nature of the first region, the grating structure is in a form of a sampled grating; and wherein the partially-corrugated sidewall increases waveguide losses for radiation in higher order lateral modes as compared to the fundamental waveguide mode.

摘要: A semiconductor laser operable by a reduced bias is disclosed. The semiconductor laser includes a substrate, an active area including a quantum well structure, an emitter area and a collector area, where those areas laterally extend on the substrate as the emitter and collector areas sandwich the active area therebetween. The emitter area and the collector area show the conduction type same to each other. The quantum well structure may cause the radiative transition from a higher energy band to a lower energy band, while, the emitter area has a conduction band whose level is equal to or higher than the higher energy band in the quantum well structure and the collector area in a level of the conduction band thereof is equal to or lower than the lower energy band of the quantum well structure.
