Y. Tohmori et al., HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION WITH LOW-LOSS COUPLING TO FIBER FOR NARROW-BEAM 1.3-MU-M LASERS WITH BUTT-JOINTED SELECTIVE GROWN SPOT-SIZE CONVERTER, Electronics Letters, 31(21), 1995, pp. 1838-1840
High temperature operation is demonstrated for narrow-beam 1.3 mu m la
sers with butt-jointed selectively grown spot-size converters. Low thr
esholds of 5.6mA. and 15.8mA at 25 degrees C and 85 degrees C and a ma
ximum operating temperature of 134 degrees C were obtained. Low loss c
oupling to fibre of <1.8dB was achieved in the temperature range from
25 degrees C to 85 degrees C with an output power up to 30mW.
