摘要:
A GaInAsP/AR GaInP laser diode is provided with an AlGaAs type II carrier blocking layer in the waveguide of the diode. The resulting diode exhibits a relatively low threshold current, an increased slope efficiency and characteristic T0 and T1, for the diodes are less limited by carrier leakage.

A gallium nitride-based compound semiconductor laser has a double-heterojunction structure, in which an active layer is sandwiched between cladding layers, on a sapphire substrate. A GaN current blocking layer having a striped opening portion is formed on the p-cladding layer. A p-GaN buried layer and a contact layer through which a current is injected into the opening portion of the current blocking layer and which are larger in area than the opening portion are formed. The active layer has a multiple quantum well structure constituted by a cyclic structure formed by cyclically stacking two types of InGaAlN layers which have different band gaps and are 10 nm or less thick.
摘要:
A quantum cascade laser comprising two electrodes (10, 18) for applying an electric control field and a waveguide placed between the two electrodes and which comprises: a gain region (14) consisting of several layers (20) which each comprise alternating strata (22) of a first type each defining a quantum barrier and strata (24) of a second type each defining a quantum well, and two optical confinement layers (12, 16) placed on each side of the gain region (14). According to the invention, each layer (20) of the gain region (14) is arranged so that the active region has three subbands, the potential differences between them being such that the transition of an electron between the two furthermost emits an energy (EGH, EHJ) corresponding to that needed for the emission of two optical phonons.
摘要:
An MQW laser comprises an active region in which a multiplicity of barriers each includes a doped barrier layer separated from its adjacent quantum well layers by undoped barrier layers. In a preferred embodiment, each barrier of an InGaAsP/InP SCH MQW laser includes a p-type (e.g., Be, Mg or C) delta-doped InGaAsP barrier layer sandwiched between a pair of undoped InGaAsP barrier layers. With suitable doping concentration and thickness of the delta-doped barrier layer, we have demonstrated MQW lasers with To as high as 82 K.
