Three different types of superlattice active regions and waveguide layer compositions were grown. Using a superlattice allows to downshift the energy position of the miniband, as compared to thin InGaAs quantum wells, having the same composition, being beneficial for high-temperature operation. Very low internal loss (~6 cm−1), low transparency current density of ~500 A/cm2, together with 46 cm−1 modal gain and 53 % internal efficiency were observed for broad-area lasers with an active region based on a highly strained In0.74Ga0.26As/In0.53Al0.25Ga0.22As superlattice.

Better single-lasing mode stability was achieved with anti-phase and in-phase CC-DR lasers than with index-coupled (IC) grating DR lasers with identical index-coupling coefficient and total cavity length. Because of the SHB effect, the side-mode suppression was enhanced in the CC-DR lasers. Further, the modulation characteristics were enhanced. Compared to the IC-DR lasers, 3-dB bandwidth enhancement over 15% was achieved using an anti-phase CC grating with a small index-coupling coefficient under small current injection. In addition, the bandwidth of the in-phase CC-DR lasers with large index coupling was enhanced under high current injection.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"61 3","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10990289","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144481884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The waveguide parameters are rigorously computed by a full-vector mode solver where we input graphene’s full set of electromagnetic properties, both linear and nonlinear; the latter are extracted by quantum perturbation formulas, as a function of graphene’s chemical potential and equilibrium lattice temperature.
