Analytic expressions for the modulation response, resonance frequency and damping were also derived which showed that the differential gain, go, is reduced to go//spl chi/. The transport factor, /spl chi/, is given by (1+/spl tau//sub r///spl tau//sub e/ where /spl tau//sub r/, is the carrier transport time across the SCH and /spl tau//sub e/, is the themioaic emission time out of the quantum well.

The major aim being tcl produce a laser emitting at the same wavelength as the HeNe gas laser, i.e. 633nm. However, most of the lasers so far developed have had very lmr maximum operating temperatures with large threshold currents, due to the increasing problem of carrier overflm from the active to cladding regions of the lasers. Due to this, the maximum operating temperatures of these devices have been limited to under 50'C (1, 2 ) .

In fact, the turning point seemed to occur about two years ago--perhaps due in part to the important talks and discussions at the last Semiconductor Laser Conference in Davos[I-61. At that time the 'main-stream' diode laser worker harbored many doubts about the viability of this new device. The modest performance that then existed was seen by many as indicative of what could be expected. Needless to say, we now know that VCSELs have emerged as completely viable sources, which might even fulfill the outlandish predictions made at Davos that VCSELs would be the dominate diode laser by the turn of the century. Although their performance still falls short of in-plane devices, theoretical models predict that significant improvements should be soon forthcoming. Moreover, the inherent advantages of wafer-scale manufacturability and testability as well as efficient coupling to fibers or other low numerical aperture optics suggests that many niches for VCSELs will emerge.","PeriodicalId":207712,"journal":{"name":"13th IEEE International Semiconductor Laser Conference","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121038546","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}

So far, most of the characterization has been carried out for the TE-polarization, but the polarization dependence of these parameters is important to the optimization of the MQW structures. Here we present measurements of the polarization dependence of dn/dN, dg/dN and the or-factor in a MQW amplifier.
