A 1310nm superluminescent diode (SLED) has been demonstrated with > 80mW continuous wave (CW) output power at 25 0 C with a spectral bandwidth of > 60nm and peak-to-peak modulation of < 0.6dB. Low power ( ~ 4 mW), ultrawide bandwidth ( ~ 95nm) SLED can also be realized using the same structure but shorter cavity length.
In this paper, we report on the growth of InSb on (100) Si and (1 1 1)B GaAs substrates and the growth of InAsSb alloysfor longer wavelength applications. The fabrication and characterization of photodetectors based on these materials are also reported. Both photoconductive and photovoltaic devices are investigated. The photodiodes are InSb p-i-n structures and InSMnAsSb,jInSb double heterostructures grown on (100) and (1 1 1)B semi-insulating GaAs and Si substrates by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) and solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The material parameters for device structures have been optimized through theoretical calculations based on fundamental mechanisms. InSb p-i-n photodiodes with peak responsivities -1O V/W were grown on Si and (1 1 1) GaAs substrates. AnInAsSb photovoltaic detector with a composition of x 0.85 showed photoresponse up to 13 xm at 300 K with a peak responsivity of 9. 13x 102 VJW at 8 jim. The RA product of InAsSb detectors has been theoretically and experimentally analyzed.
A 1550 nm polarization-insensitive superluminescent diode (SLED) has been demonstrated with >100 mW continuous wave (CW) output power. More than 40 nm FWHM bandwidth of a Gaussian-shape spectrum, and less than 0.7 dB peak-to-peak ripple were also achieved with a polarization dependence of the output power spectrum that is less than 1 dB over 1530-1610 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
