Butt-Joint Monolithicaily Integrated DFB-LD/EA-MD Light Source for 10Gbit/s Transmission

This paper reports on the design, fabrication, and performance of an integrated electro-absorptive modulated laser based on butt-joint configuration for 10Gbit/s application. This paper mainly aims at two aspects. One is to improve the optical coupling between the laser and modulator; another is to increase the bandwidth of such devices by reducing the capacitance parameter of the modulator. The integrated devices exhibit high static and dynamic characteristics. Typical threshold current is 15mA,with some value as low as 8mA. Output power at 100mA is more than 10mW. The extinction characteristics,modulation bandwidth, and electrical return loss are measured. 3dB bandwidth more than 10GHz is monitored.

Tunnel Junction AlGaInP Light Emitting Diode

The n-type GaAs substrates are used and their conductive type is changed to p-type by tunnel junction for AlGaInP light emitting diodes (TJ-LED), then n-type GaP layer is used as current spreading layer. Because resistivity of the n-type GaP is lower than that of p-type, the effect of current spreading layer is enhanced and the light extraction efficiency is increased by the n-type GaP current spreading layer. For TJ-LED with 3μm n-type GaP current spreading layer, experimental results show that compared with conventional LED with p-type GaP current spreading layer, light output power is increased for 50% at 20mA and for 66.7% at 100mA.
