The reduced in carrier lifetimes are attributed to Be compensation of the deep donor levels introduced by the He plasma. The carrier lifetime increases with photogenerated carrier density due to trap saturation. The FTIR results reveal sharp absorption edges in this material for doping concentrations up to 1×1018 cm−3. The fast carrier dynamics and the steep absorption edge make this material very attractive for ultrafast optical switching devices for use in high-speed time-division-multiplexing fiber communication systems.","PeriodicalId":173652,"journal":{"name":"CLEO '97., Summaries of Papers Presented at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114692765","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 end of the GRIN lens above the VCSEL is antireflection coated, and the other has an apertured high reflector. When the GRIN lens is at the proper height from the VCSEL plane, it integrates the functions of a collimating lens, a circular aperture on axis, and an output coupler. The output powers from this composite GRIN setup were 80% higher than those obtained from the equivalent setup using discrete components, as a result of reduced losses. The six period upper stack does not provide sufficient reflectivity for the VCSEL to lase. The external cavity feedback into the VCSEL comes from the apertured external mirror on the GRIN lens resulting in a coupled cavity structure. The apertured mirror provides high feedback to the lowest-order modes, and discriminates against higher-order-mode lasing. Near field mode size measurements show two significant features. The first is that we are able to force an ordinarily multi-mode size device (10 pm) to lase in a relatively large (20 = 6 pm) single transverse mode (Fig. 2). The second feature is that over a portion of the L-I curve, the mode size increases, whereas in conventional VCSELs, mode size generally decreases with increasing current drive! We also observed that the output is spectrally single 5. The measured etendue (solid angle divergence times near-field mode area) of the out& put from the GRIN lens, at 4.0 mW operating power, was 7.9 X cm2str. The etendue of a a Gaussian (X') of the same wavelength is 7.2 X cm2str, which implies that the output from our cavityis about 91% as effective as a pure Gaussian in concentrating the output power into a given cone, with a resulting brightness of 5.1 X lo5 W/cm2str. A slope efficiency of greater than 1.4 mW/mA was observed, which, taking into account increasing mode size, corresponds to an internal quantum efficiency of 70%. We also saw threshold currents as low as 4.6 mA, and powers above 4 mW, using the largest patterned mirror (400 pm).

Without aperturing, the laser beam size before entering the focusing lens is 10 mm. A mechanical aperture is used to shrink the unfocused laser beam size, and values of 7.5 mm to 6.5 mm were chosen. These three beam sizes correspond to a minimum laser focus spot size of 7.46, 9.94, and 11.47 p m respectively. The bump shape is measured by an interferometric optical surface profiler and results are summarized in Fig. 3. It can be seen that at 1.11 pj/pulse with an unapertured 10 mm beam, the laser power is close to the threshold of bump formation and changes in the pulse duration do not greatly affect the bump height. At laser powers that generate bump heights around 22 nm, bump height (BH) and bump depth (BV) increase while the bump size (BD) decreases as a function of laser pulse duration. Aperturing ofthe laser beam changes the beam size, which only affects BD. In other words, beam clipping has the same effect as changing the beam diameter by the use of a beam expander. As the bump size increase to 12 p m by beam clipping, a sharp BV decrease is observed. This is the region where the laser bump shape starts changing from a crater to a Sombrero. Sombrero bump formation has been explained by the interaction of the thermocapillary effect and the chemicapillary effects.'

To confirm the principle of operation, we performed an experiment with a GaAs waveguide as the nonlinear waveguide and a monochromator as the filter (Fig. 2). In this experiment, an unmodulated cw signal light, instead of pulses, at wavelengths around 925 nm, and 650 fs, 12 pJ control pulses at 883 nm were coupled to the nonlinear waveguide. The time evolution of the signal light from the monochromator was measured by a crosscorrelation technique. The center and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the transmission window of the monochromator were fixed at 925.5 nm and 1.5 nm, respectively. To observe the signal light wavelength shift, crosscorrelation traces for different signal light wavelengths were compared. Figure 3 shows the obtained cross-correlation traces with signal light wavelengths of 925.5 and 926.8 nm. The cw signal light at 925.5 nm is normally transmitted by the monochromator. In this case, only when the refractive index change and thus the signal light frequency shift are induced by the control pulse, a drop in the signal light intensity is observed. On the other hand, the cw signal light at 926.8 nm is normally off. The signal light is detected only when the control pulse induces the blue-shift of the signal light and the wavelength moves to the transmission window of the monochromator. The observed switching time is less than 2 ps, showing ultrafast capability. In conclusion, we proposed a novel alloptical gate switch. This all-optical switch is very simple in structure, yet is capable of ultrahigh-speed and high-efficiency switching. We verified its principle of operation by demonstrating ultrafast switching of faster than 2 ps.
