Mm. Raj et al., 1.5 mu m wavelength DBR lasers consisting of 3 lambda/4-semiconductor and 3 lambda/4-groove buried with benzocyclobutene, ELECTR LETT, 35(16), 1999, pp. 1335-1337
1.5 mu m wavelength GaInAsP/InP lasers with high reflectivity deeply etched
DBR have been realised. Benzocyclobutene (BCB) polymer was buried in DBR g
rooves thus reducing the diffraction loss compared to that, obtained using
air/semiconductor grooves. The reflectivity was estimated to be 90% from th
e measurement of the threshold current dependence on the cavity length and
the output power ratio from the front to the rear facets.
