The importance of having an airlock sample exchange can be illustrated by the improvement of threshold current density as a function of the number of runs after the growth chamber is opened to atmosphere for oven refilling. Usually the threshold current density Jth is more than four times higher than that of wafers grown by liquid phase epitaxy on the first run, and then Jth improves to about 1.5 times higher on the third and fourth runs. Finally, Jth on the fifth and later runs is comparable to that for wafers grown by LPE. Also, care must be taken in substrate selection and preparation and in the use of Al free of undesirable impurities. The detailed sample preparation and the analysis of the Al source will be discussed. Figure 1 shows the temperature-time cycles used to grow the DH lasers. Broad-area lasers with cavity lengths between 400 to 500 μm having Jth of 1.25×103, 1.16x103, 1.04×103 A/cm2 for active layer thickness of 0.22, 0.16 and 0.10 μm respectively have been achieved. For a cavity length of 570 μm, the wafer with 0.1 μm active layer gave Jth as low as 910 A/cm2. These DH lasers have been fabricated as proton bombarded stripe-geometry lasers (12 μm × 380 μm) and have a room temperature threshold current of 80 mA. The desirable features of molecular beam epitaxy are the capability of growth over a large substrate area (4 cm x 2.5 cm) and the reproducibility of this growth technique.","PeriodicalId":330440,"journal":{"name":"Integrated and Guided Wave Optics","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123552974","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}

Dual output waveguides are therefore provided at one of the mirrors. The coupled cavities resulting from this configuration tend to suppress all but one dominant longitudinal mode. By suitable variations of layer thickness and/or composition, the device operates either as a tapered power divider (TPD), branching the incident power of a single mode into the two output arms of the device, or as a tapered mode splitter (TMS), diverting different transverse modes into different arms. We have achieved power ratios of between 4:1 and 5:1 for the TPD, oscillating in a dominant longitudinal mode at λ ≈ 8850 Å. For the TMS, a transverse mode at λ ≈ 8780 Å exits from one output arm of the device, while another transverse mode at λ ≈ 8550 Å is observed from the other; the relative intensity of these two output beams can be varied by changing the injection current.","PeriodicalId":330440,"journal":{"name":"Integrated and Guided Wave Optics","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117044977","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}
