If. Lealman et al., 1.56-MU-M INGAASP INP TAPERED ACTIVE LAYER MULTIQUANTUM-WELL LASER WITH IMPROVED COUPLING TO CLEAVED SINGLEMODE FIBER/, Electronics Letters, 30(11), 1994, pp. 857-859
The authors report 1.56mum MQW BH lasers that use a tapered active reg
ion and underlying passive guide to increase the laser spot size. Coup
ling losses to 10mum core cleaved singlemode fibre as low as 4.7dB hav
e been obtained for devices with threshold currents of approximately 1
2mA at 20-degrees-C.
