    Notes: We demonstrate room-temperature pulsed operation of an electrically injected InGaN/GaN-based distributed feedback laser with an emission wavelength of 403 nm. The threshold current of a 1000-μm-long and 20-μm-wide device was 3.2 A; corresponding to a threshold current density of 16 kA/cm2. The 3rd order grating providing feedback was defined holographically and dry etched into the upper waveguiding layer by chemically assisted ion beam etching. We observed single mode operation of the laser with a side mode suppression ratio of 15 dB over a temperature range of about 30 K. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present a study on a novel method for the determination of the cavity losses in semiconductor lasers. The method we use involves Fourier analysis of the Fabry–Pérot mode spectrum when operating the device below lasing threshold. The observation of the decay rate of higher order harmonics in the Fourier analysis of the spectra allows us to determine the amount of cavity propagation loss/gain. A comparison between experimental and calculated data for an AlGaInP laser at 670 nm showed good agreement up to an injection current of 0.93×Ith. This method therefore provides a generalization of the Fabry–Pérot contrast measurement method for extracting cavity losses from spectral information. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Fourier analysis of laser emission spectra just above threshold is used to evaluate the impact of structural defects on the emission from optically pumped InGaN lasers. By dry etching a 300-nm-deep groove into the surface of a laser bar, we have modified the emission spectrum of such a device in a controlled manner. The occurrence of sharp features in the Fourier transformed spectrum allowed the identification of the mode spacing corresponding to the full cavity length, as well as to fractions of the full cavity length due to the etched groove. This enables us to identify additional features in the transform spectrum as being due to scattering centers within the waveguide. Identification of the density and strength of such centers is an important capability for the fabrication of blue diode lasers in the gallium–nitride material system. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We investigate normal and anomalous longitudinal mode hops in GaAs/AlGaAs-based distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers; anomalous mode hops are defined as those which move toward shorter wavelengths with increasing temperature, which is unexpected. The two-section DBR lasers discussed in this letter, consisting of a gain section and an unpumped Bragg reflector, typically exhibit one mode hop in a 10 K temperature range. Although the longer wavelength modes are expected to start lasing when raising device temperature, occasional mode hops to a shorter wavelength are seen. We derive a model for temperature-dependent wavelength tuning, with which the overheating of the gain section is described empirically. This model allows an accurate numerical simulation of both kinds of temperature-induced longitudinal mode hops. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report a comparison between measured and calculated far field data for an optically pumped In0.15Ga0.85N/In0.05Ga0.95N multiquantum well laser structure with AlGaN cladding layers. Optical pumping of the semiconductor device was performed with a pulsed 337 nm N2 laser, whose beam was focused to a narrow stripe. A thin upper cladding layer allowed efficient pumping of the In0.15Ga0.85N/In0.05Ga0.95N laser structure. Despite high distributed cavity losses of at least 30 cm−1, and although gain occurred in the small active region only, the seventh order transverse mode was supported in a waveguide formed by the entire 5-μm-thick epitaxial layer structure. Excellent agreement is demonstrated between measured and calculated far field patterns of the lasing mode. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Laser-diode heterostructures of InGaAlN containing a third-order diffraction grating for distributed optical feedback have been examined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The grating was defined holographically and etched by chemically assisted ion-beam etching into the upper GaN confinement layer of the laser structure. After the etch step, it was overgrown with an Al0.08Ga0.92N upper cladding layer. Threading dislocations were present that initiated at the sapphire substrate, but no new dislocations were observed at the grating/Al0.08Ga0.92N interface. A comparison of TEM and SEM micrographs reveals that there is a compositional gradient in the AlGaN upper cladding layer; however, calculations show that it did not reduce the optical coupling coefficient of the grating. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We demonstrate an optically pumped InGaN/GaN-based multiquantum well distributed feedback laser in the blue spectral region. The third-order grating providing feedback was defined holographically and dry etched into the upper waveguiding layer by chemically assisted ion-beam etching. When aligning the stripe-shaped pump beam either parallel or perpendicular to the grating grooves, we found a considerably lower pumping threshold, higher slope efficiency, a slightly longer emission wavelength, and a much narrower linewidth for the geometry with the pump beam orthogonal to the grating lines. A nearly constant emission wavelength of 400.85 nm and a linewidth of 0.7 Å were observed under various pump intensities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the narrowest linewidth ever reported for an optically pumped device in this material system. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present measurement results on a surface-emitting quantum-cascade distributed feedback laser emitting infrared radiation at 10.1 μm. The use of a second order grating enabled the laser to emit about 25% of its total optical power from the grating. The beam radiated from the grating was at a very low divergence angle of about 1°×14°. As already presented in a previous paper, we simplified the processing by using a lateral current injection scheme avoiding epitaxial regrowth. At 85 K, the laser emitted 210 and 60 mW of pulsed power from facet and grating, respectively; at room temperature, the corresponding numbers were 70 and 18 mW. Threshold current densities of 2.1 kA/cm2 at 85 K and 5.6 kA/cm2 at room temperature were observed. The device showed single mode behavior for the entire temperature range and all investigated power levels. In addition, a constant temperature tuning coefficient of 0.06 cm−1/K was seen. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Intersubband absorption measurements on two nominally undoped AlGaN/GaN-based high-electron-mobility transistors with different Al compositions in the barrier layer are presented. The first transistor with a barrier consisting of Al0.6Ga0.4N showed an absorption peak at 247 meV (1973 cm−1) with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 126 meV, while the second device utilizing an Al0.8Ga0.2N barrier had its peak at 306 meV (2447 cm−1) with a FWHM of 86 meV. Self-consistently computed potentials and intersubband transition energies showed good agreement with the experimental findings, and therefore confirmed previously published values for the internal piezoelectric field in such structures. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High-temperature operation of a low-threshold 5.3 μm quantum-cascade distributed feedback laser is presented. The emission spectrum was single mode with more than 20 dB side mode suppression ratio for all investigated temperatures and up to thermal rollover. For 1.5% duty cycle and at 0 °C, the laser emitted 1.15 W of single mode peak power; at 120 °C, a value of 92 mW was seen. For a 3 mm long device, we observed a room-temperature threshold current density of 3.6 kA/cm2. This remarkable performance is mainly due to a 4 quantum-well active region using a double phonon resonance for the lower laser level. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
