Abstract
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) failure is a reliability concern for InP-based semiconductor lasers. An analysis of ESD-induced failures in AlGaInAs/InP-based DFB semiconductor lasers reveals that the primary degradation mechanism is optical absorption in the active layer at the laser facet. XPS results demonstrate that device failures caused by ESD can be effectively mitigated through surface cleaning and passivation, with this effect attributed to a reduction in non-radiative recombination at the facet.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
