P. Guy et al., HIGH REFLECTIVITY AND LOW-RESISTANCE 1.55-MU-M AL0.65IN0.35AS GA0.63IN0.37AS STRAINED QUARTER-WAVE BRAGG REFLECTOR STACK/, Electronics Letters, 29(22), 1993, pp. 1947-1948
Reflector stacks grown for use in devices operating at 1.55mum on InP
substrates normally use lattice matched quaternary alloys and a large
number of periods to obtain a high reflectivity. In this work therefor
e we have investigated the use of Al0.65In0.35As/Ga0.63In0.37As ternar
y layers, which are approximately1% strained with respect to the subst
rate. Results show that over 80% reflectivity and a low resistance can
be obtained with only a 12 period structure.
