K. Uomi et al., ULTRALOW THRESHOLD AND UNIFORM OPERATION (1.3+ -0.09-MA) IN 1.3-MU-M STRAINED-MQW 10-ELEMENT LASER ARRAYS FOR PARALLEL HIGH-DENSITY OPTICALINTERCONNECTS/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 7(1), 1995, pp. 1-3
An ultralow-threshold 1.3-mu m InGaAsP-InP 10-element monolithic laser
array is achieved through careful optimization of a strained-MQW acti
ve layer. This array has a record-low threshold current, highly unifor
m threshold current characteristics (1.3 +/- 0.09 mA and slope efficie
ncy of 0.37 +/- 0.01 W/A), and long-term reliability. This array is su
itable as light sources for a parallel high-density optical interconne
ction system.
