The AlGaAsSb barriers of the lasers are grown with digital alloy techniques consisting of binary AlSb/AlAs/GaSb short-period pairs. Peak power conversion efficiency of 26% and an efficiency higher than 16% at 1 W are achieved at continuous-wave operation for a 2-mm-long and 100-μm-wide stripe laser. The maximum output power of a single emitter reaches to 1.4 W at 7 A.19-emitter bars with maximum efficiency higher than 20% and maximum power of 16 W are fabricated. Lasers with the short-period-pair barriers are proved to have improved temperature properties and wavelength stabilities. The characteristic temperature(T_0) is up to 140?C near room temperature(25–55?C).展开更多

The cascade region of interband cascade laser was designed using the ‘W' configuration of the active quantum wells and the ‘Carrier Rebalancing' method in the electron injector. The devices were processed into narrow ridges and mounted epitaxial side down on a copper heat sink. The 25-μm-wide, 3-mm-long ridge without coated facets generated 41.4 mW of continuous wave output power at T = 15℃. And a low threshold current density of 267 A/cm^2 is achieved. The emission wavelength of the ICL is 3452.3 nm at 0.5 A.展开更多

The high quality epitaxial structure,grown on Te-doped(001) oriented GaSb substrate by molecular beam epitaxy, consists of a distributed Bragg reflector(DBR), a multi-quantum-well gain region, and a window layer. An intra-cavity SiC heat spreader was attached to the gain chip for effective thermal management. A continuous-wave output power of over 1 W operating at 2.03 μm wavelength operating near room temperature was achieved using a 3% output coupler.展开更多

The InGaAs/GaAs SLS is found to be more effective than GaAs TBL in blocking the propagation of threading dislocations, which are generated at the interface between the GaAs buffer layer and the Si substrate. Through testing and analysis, we conclude that the weaker photoluminescence for quantum dots(QDs) on Si substrate is caused by the quality of capping In_(0.15)Ga_(0.85)As and upper GaAs. We also find that the periodic misfits at the interface are related to the initial stress release of GaAs islands, which guarantees that the upper layers are stress-free.展开更多
