Abstract:GaAs/AlGaAs transverse junction stripe lasers with a distributed feedback structure were fabricated. The cw threshold current was 27 mA at 20 °C. The laser operated in a pure single longitudinal mode at the wavelength of 867 nm.
We have fabricated InGaAs/AlGaAs strained-layer distributed-feedback grating-surface-emitting lasers with a buried grating structure. The device consists of a pumped distributed-feedback section terminated on both sides by unpumped distributed Bragg reflector sections. cw operation in a stable single longitudinal mode is achieved up to six times threshold. The threshold current density is ∼600 A/cm2. The far-field beam divergence is predominantly single lobed and diffraction limited. The spectral linewidth is 1.0 MHz at an output power of 8 mW.
