H. Okamoto et al., 1.3-MU-M LASER-DIODES WITH BUTT-JOINTED SELECTIVELY GROWN SPOT-SIZE CONVERTERS UNIFORMLY FABRICATED ON A 2IN INP SUBSTRATE, Electronics Letters, 32(12), 1996, pp. 1099-1101
1.3 mu m laser diodes with butt-jointed selectively grown spot-size co
nverters have been successfully fabricated on a 2in InP substrate. The
ir threshold current and far-field patterns were uniformly distributed
over the 2in wafer. These uniform characteristics were obtained by co
mbining uniform MOVPE growth, wet etching, and CH4/H-2 reactive ion et
ching.
