I. Gontijo et al., VERY-LOW LOSS EXTENDED-CAVITY GAAS ALGAAS LASERS MADE BY IMPURITY-FREE VACANCY DIFFUSION/, Electronics Letters, 30(2), 1994, pp. 145-146
Very low loss extended cavity lasers have been fabricated using the im
purity-free vacancy diffusion technique. The average loss, obtained fr
om the slope of measured loss as a function of the extended cavity len
gth, was 1OdB/cm for extended cavities annealed at 900 degrees C for 3
0s. The lowest loss of 3.6dB/cm was obtained from a device annealed at
950 degrees C for 30s.
