针对移频激发拉曼光谱测试系统的小型化需求,在Littrow结构中,采用商用的785nm大功率激光二极管作为增益器件,构建了一款便携式光栅外腔可调谐半导体激光器。该激光器通过采用一种新型的波长调谐方法,即以改变半导体增益器件相对于准直透镜的水平位置来实现波长的连续调谐,实现了尺寸为140mm×65mm×50mm的小型化结构设计。相比于传统的旋转衍射光栅改变光线在光栅上的入射角来实现波长调谐的方式,该方法有效地缩减了增益器件的平移距离,从而有利于便携式外腔激光器波长的快速宽带调谐。实验结果表明,该激光器具有较宽的波长调谐范围,在340~900mA注入电流下均可实现10nm以上的波长调谐,尤其在900mA大注入电流下,其波长调谐覆盖779.40~791.07nm,调谐范围可达11.67nm,且激射线宽小于0.2nm,单波长输出功率最高可达280mW,放大的自发辐射抑制比大于25dB,呈现出较优异的输出性能,满足移频激发拉曼光谱检测系统对光源的基本要求。此外,该激光器可采用一微型压电陶瓷驱动器来实现波长的电动调谐,实验获得了1.35nm的波长调谐范围,证实了所制785nm便携式光栅外腔可调谐半导体激光器适合作为便携式移频激发拉曼光谱检测系统的光源用于减除原始拉曼光谱中的荧光背景。     

顶部反射镜对GaN基共振腔发光二极管性能的影响研究

本文在Ga N基共振腔发光二极管(RCLED)顶部设计制备了高反膜结构分布式布拉格反射镜(DBR)和滤波器结构DBR,对比分析了两种反射镜的反射率曲线特征以及对应的RCLED器件的光输出纵模模式、光谱线宽和输出光强等性能差异,详细研究了顶部反射镜的光反射特性对RCLED器件输出光谱性能的影响机理.研究结果表明,顶部反射镜是RCLED的重要组成部分,其反射率曲线特征决定器件的光输出性能.常规高反膜结构DBR顶部反射镜的反射率曲线具有较宽的高反射带,将其作为顶部反射镜可有效压窄RCLED发光纵模线宽,但是发光光谱仍呈现多纵模光输出特征.滤波器结构DBR顶部反射镜的反射率曲线在中心波长处具有较窄的透光凹带,利用透光凹带对输出光的调制作用,器件可实现单纵模光输出,在光通信、光纤传感等领域展示了广阔的应用前景.通过进一步设计RCLED顶部反射镜结构,可以改变其反射率曲线特性,进而优化RCLED器件的输出光谱特性,以满足器件在多个领域的应用需求.     

Influence of barrier thickness on the structural and optical properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells

The structural and optical properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells(MQWs) with different barrier thicknesses are studied by means of high resolution X-ray diffraction(HRXRD), a cross-sectional transmission electron microscope(TEM), and temperature-dependent photoluminescence(PL) measurements. HRXRD and cross-sectional TEM measurements show that the interfaces between wells and barriers are abrupt and the entire MQW region has good periodicity for all three samples. As the barrier thickness is increased, the temperature of the turning point from blueshift to redshift of the S-shaped temperature-dependent PL peak energy increases monotonously, which indicates that the localization potentials due to In-rich clusters is deeper. From the Arrhenius plot of the normalized integrated PL intensity, it is found that there are two kinds of nonradiative recombination processes accounting for the thermal quenching of photoluminescence,and the corresponding activation energy(or the localization potential) increases with the increase of the barrier thickness.The dependence on barrier thickness is attributed to the redistribution of In-rich clusters during the growth of barrier layers,i.e., clusters with lower In contents aggregate into clusters with higher In contents.

Broadband tunable external cavity laser using a bent-waveguide quantum-dot superluminescent diode as gain device

A broadband tunable grating-coupled external cavity laser is realized by employing a self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) superluminescent diode (SLD) as the gain device. The SLD device is processed with a bent-waveguide structure and facet antireflection (AR) coating. Tuning bandwidths of 106 nm and 117 nm are achieved under 3-A and 3.5-A injection currents, respectively. The large tuning range originates essentially from the broad gain spectrum of self-assembled QDs. The bent waveguide structure combined with the facet AR coating plays a role in suppressing the inner-cavity lasing under a large injection current.     

A broadband external cavity tunable InAs/GaAs quantum dot laser by utilizing only the ground state emission

A broadband external cavity tunable laser is realized by using a broad-emitting spectral InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) gain device. A tuning range of 69 nm with a central wavelength of 1056 nm, is achieved at a bias of 1.25 kA/cm2 only by utilizing the light emission from the ground state of QDs. This large tunable range only covers the QD ground-state emission and is related to the inhomogeneous size distribution of QDs. No excited state contributes to the tuning bandwidth. The application of the QD gain device to the external cavity tunable laser shows its immense potential in broadening the tuning bandwidth. By the external cavity feedback, the threshold current density can be reduced remarkably compared with the free-running QD gain device.
