In order to solve this problem, the author developed a new liquid phase epitaxial growth(LPE) technique characterized by (1) adding GaCl vapor to the growth atmosphere, and (2) using a new boat structure by which multilayer LPE can be carried out without mechanical wipe off of the growth melt. The DH wafer grown by the new LPE technique was quite uniform over whole area (10 × 12 mm2) in the sense that every part of it was suitable for fabrication of long-life lasers. the yield of the lasers which survived through one thousand-hour cw test exceeded fifty percent for specific wafers.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128447835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many respects, a laser diode is an ideal source for these systems since it emits adequate power for economical fiberguide transmission and is compatible with fibers integrated optics, and integrated circuits, efficient in its conversion of electrical to optical power, mechanically rugged, potentially reliable, and easily modulated in a variety of ways. This paper reviews the modulation characteristics of contemporary cw junction lasers with a view to identifying current limitations on their performance. We focus on the (AlGa)As double-hereto-structure (DH) diode fabricated in a stripe-geometry since this device is the most developed for fiberguide systems.","PeriodicalId":106190,"journal":{"name":"1976 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123894625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relative merits of in-house and time-sharing computers are considered. The author favors time-sharing for its flexibility, but costs vary widely. It is recommended that computers be used directly by engineers, without intervening computer staff wherever possible.
