High performance of 1.55 mu m DFB integrated with vertically tapered self-aligned spot-size converter

A new type of self-aligned spotsize converter (SSC) integrated 1.55 mum DFB lasers had been proposed in this article. The upper optical confinement layer and the butt-coupled tapered thickness waveguide were regrown simultaneously, which not only offered the separate optimization of the active region and the integrated SSC, but also reduced the difficulty of the butt-joint selective regrowth. The vertical and horizontal far field angles were 9degrees and 12degrees respectively, the 1- dB misalignment tolerance were both 3.6 and 3.4 mum. The directed coupling efficiency to tapered single mode fiber was 48%.

Surface morphology and optical property of 1.3 mu m In0.5Ga0.5As/GaAs self-organized quantum dots grown by MBE

Surface morphology and optical properties of 1.3 mum self-organized InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots structure grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated by atomic force microscopy and photoluminescence measurements. It has been shown that the surface morphology evolution and emission wavelengths of InGaAs/GaAs QDs can be controlled effectively via cycled monolayer deposition methods due to the reduction of the surface strain. Our results provide important information for optimizing the epitaxial parameters for obtaining 1.3 mum long wavelength emission quantum dots structures. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

EFFECTS OF 1-MEV-ELECTRON IRRADIATION ON A-SI SOLAR-CELLS

In this report we present the effects of 1 MeV-electron irradiation on i a-Si:H films and solar cells. It is observed that in the dose range of 1.4-8.4 x 10(15) cm(-2) the defect creation has not reached its saturation level and the metastable defects caused by the irradiation cannot be completely removed by a two hour annealing at 200 degrees C for i a-Si:H films or at 130 degrees C for a-Si:H solar cells. The results may be understood in terms of a model based on two kinds of metastable defects created by 1 MeV-electron irradiation.

PULSED ELECTRICAL OPERATION OF 1.5-MU-M VERTICAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers operating in the 1.3- and 1.5-mu m wavelength ranges are highly attractive for telecommunications applications. However, they are far less well-developed than devices operating at shorter wavelengths. Pulsed electrically-injected lasing at 1.5 mu m, at temperatures up to 240 K, is demonstrated in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with one epitaxial and one dielectric reflector. This is an encouraging result in the development of practical sources for optical fiber communications systems.

Room temperature continuous wave operation of 1.33-micron InAs/GaAs quantum dot laser with high output power

Continuous wave operation of a semiconductor laser diode based on five stacks of InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded within strained InGaAs quantum wells as an active region is demonstrated. At room temperature, 355-mW output power at ground state of 1.33-1.35 microns for a 20-micron ridge-waveguide laser without facet coating is achieved. By optimizing the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth conditions, the QD density per layer is raised to 4*10^(10) cm^(-2). The laser keeps lasing at ground state until the temperature reaches 65 Celsius degree.

A novel bonding method using silicate gel as bonding medium is developed.High reflective SiO2/Si mirrors deposited on silicon substrates by e-beam deposition are bonded to the active layers at a low temperature of 350℃ without any special treatment on bonding surfaces.The reflectivities of the mirrors can be as high as 99.9%.A Si-based narrow band response InGaAs photodetector is successfully fabricated,with a quantum efficiency of 22.6% at the peak wavelength of 1.54μm,and a full width at half maximum of about 27nm.This method has a great potential for industry processes.

RCE photodiodes at wavelength band of 1.06 μm

Resonant cavity enhancement (RCE) typed optical detector and modulator which operating at wavelength band of 1.06 μm is reported. The peak quantum efficiency of detector is reasonably high as 50% without bias, and the photocurrent contrast ratio of modulator is 3.6 times at -3.5 V as compared to 0 V. The incident angle dependence of RCE device's photoelectric response is investigated carefully.

Surface Morphology and Photoluminescence of 1.3 μm Wavelength In(Ga)As/GaAs Quantum Dots

Self-organized In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)As/GaAs quantum island structure emitting at 1. 35 (im at room temperature has been successfully fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) via cycled (InAs)_1/( GaAs)_1 monolayer deposition method. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement shows that very narrow PL linewidth of 19.2 meV at 300 K has been reached for the first time, indicating effective suppression of inhomogeneous broadening of optical emission from the In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)As islands structure. Our results provide important information for optimizing the epitaxial structures of 1.3 μm wavelength quantum dot (QD) devices.

Photoluminescence characterization of 1.3 mu m In(Ga)As/GaAs islands grown by molecular beam epitaxy

1.3 mum wavelength In(Ga)As/GaAs nanometer scale islands grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were characterized by photoluminescence (PL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. It is shown that inhomogeneous broadening of optical emission due to fluctuation of the In0.5Ga0.5As islands both in size and in compositions can be effectively suppressed by introducing a AlAs layer and a strain reduction In0.2Ga0.8As layer overgrown on top of the islands, 1.3mum emission wavelength with narrower line-width less than 20meV at room temperature was obtained.
