Using an AlGaAs-GaAs waveguide structure with a six-stack InAs-InGaAs "dots-in-a -well" (DWELL) gain region having an aggregate dot density of approximately 8 x1 0 (hoch)11 CM(hoch)-2, an optical gain of 18 dB at 1300 nm has been obtained in a 2.4-mm-long amplifier at 100-mA pump current. The optical bandwidth is 50 ma, and the output saturation power is 9 dBm. The dependence of the amplifier parame ters on the pump current and the gain recovery dynamics has also been studied
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.
