Y. Furushima et al., 1.3-MU-M SPOT-SIZE CONVERTER INTEGRATED ASM-BH LDS WITH LOW OPERATINGCURRENT AND HIGH COUPLING EFFICIENCY, Electronics Letters, 34(8), 1998, pp. 767-768
High-performance 1.3 mu m spot-size-converter integrated laser diodes
with a pnpn current blocking structure were fabricated using the all-s
elective MOVPE technique. The active layer and thickness-tapered waveg
uide were simultaneously and directly grown by narrow-stripe selective
MOVPE. Superior lasing characteristics, such as a low threshold curre
nt of 18.1mA at 85 degrees C and a low operating current of 59.5mA for
10mW output power at 85 degrees C, and high lens-free coupling effici
ency of -2.8dB to a singlemode fibre, were achieved.
