Rhombus-like stripe BA InGaAs-AlGaAs-GaAs lasers

A 1.5-W continuous-wave power output in a beam pattern of 3/spl deg/ is obtained from a new designed rhombus-like stripe strained quantum-well diode laser (/spl lambda/=980 nm) with a 150-/spl mu/m-wide emission aperture grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The /spl eta//sub d/ is as high as 78%, and the maximum output power by the new stripe laser is 5.0 W for antireflection/high-reflection coated devices.

High performance highly strained InGaAs quantum-well ridge waveguide lasers

Highly strained InGaAs ridge waveguide lasers were fabricated with pulsed anodic oxidation. The laser structure was grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. The output powers up to 50 mW per facet in CW mode were reached at room temperature for the 4 μm stripe lasers. The threshold current density of 300 A/cm2 was achieved with 600 μm cavity length. The emission wavelength at 100 mA was 1.19 μm. The slope efficiency was 0.45 W/A in linear output region of light-current characteristics. The laser characteristic temperature was 129 K (20°C–100°C).

InGaAsP/GaAs SCH SQW laser arrays grown by LPE

Abstract InGaAsP/InGaP/GaAs separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) single quantum well (SQW) laser structures have been obtained by an improved liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) process. Wide-contact stripe lasers have been fabricated with threshold current density below 300 A / cm 2 and cavity length of 800 μm . Finally, with the same grown wafers, 1-cm bar laser diode (LD) arrays are made with 150 μm wide stripes and a maximum fill factor of 30%. Continuous Wave (CW) power output of 20 W has been reached.

High power 808 nm InGaAlAs semiconductor lasers by MBE

High power 808 nm semiconductor lasers become more and more important for pumping solid-state lasers, medical applications and for material processing such as welding, cutting, or surface treatment. In this paper, Indium has successfully been incorporated into AlGaAs quantum well structures such that the resulting quaternary (InAlGaAs) strained-layer lasers operate in the region of 808 nm. Such lasers were proposed as potentially more robust alternatives to AlGaAs lasers, based on expectations of the lifetime improvements. The suppression of the propagation of <100> dark-line defects (DLDS) in the InAlGaAs devices. Another improvement of lower thresholds has been realized for the devices.

MBE grown LD arrays with non-absorption window for high peak power output

A new nonabsorbing window laser, grown by an interrupted MBE method, has been designed to improve peak power output properties of BA lasers. 5-stack arrays with 2/spl times/0.5 mm/sup 2/ have reached a peak power of 300 W.
