Y. Luo et al., 1.5 mu m InGaAsP/InP strained MQW gain-coupled DFB laser with an improved periodically modulated injection-carrier grating, J KOR PHYS, 34, 1999, pp. S101-S103
A 1.55 mu m InGaAsP/InP strained multiple quantum well (MQW) distributed fe
edback (DFB) laser with an improved periodically modulated injection-carrie
r grating is reported for the first time. In this laser structure, the effe
ct of current blocking grating is enhanced by optimizing the doping level o
f its surrounding layers, therefore, large gain coupling coefficient can be
expected. The device is fabricated by hybrid growth of MOVPE and LPE. A si
ngle-mode oscillation yield as high as 80 % is achieved under the condition
of two cleaved facets.
