Femtosecond laser-induced surface nanostructuring is found to be a significant factor enhancing the absorptivity. This absorptivity enhancement of the nano-structured surface is explained as a result of both multiple light reflections from produced ramified gold surface and resonant linear and nonlinear light absorption by coupled nanostructures (spheres, wires, cones).","PeriodicalId":300417,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133209183","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}

Such applications require lasers, which are characterized by reliability and long lifetime. Catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD) process is one of the major mechanisms, which drastically limits laser lifetime and emitted optical power [2]. Mirror degradation and eventually destruction of lasers is caused by facet heating due to nonradiative surface recombination of carriers. Facet heating reduces the band gap energy, consequently increasing the absorption coefficient at the facet. The absorbed light and photo-induced electron-hole pair are increased by the increase in the absorption coefficient. Both effects lead to further nonradiative recombination of carriers which induces heating and so on, up to degradation of mirror or even destruction of laser. We see that this effect is very undesirable and knowledge of the temperature dissipation on the surface is very important for improving semiconductor lasers design. In this work we present the analysis of temperature distribution at the front facet of the broad area GaAsP/AlGaAs lasers by means of micro-Thermoreflectance (μTR) Spectroscopy. Several methods proved to be useful in determining the temperature of the laser surface. These are micro-probe band-to-band photoluminescence, thermoreflectance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy [2, 3, 4, 5]. We have used μTR because it is contactless, non-destructive technique which enables us to obtain temperature distribution in real time.","PeriodicalId":300417,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114462650","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}
