A comparative measurement is reported of the linewidth enhancement factor of bulk and multiple quantum well (MQW) long-wavelength diode lasers using the chirp halfwidth product method. Although MQW lasers provide substantially improved chirp performance compared with bulk devices, this depends considerably on the drive conditions when gain switching. 相似文献

We have compared and analyzed theoretical investigation for the possibility of extreme reductions in the linewidth enhancement factor (??-factor) in strained layer quantum-well (QW) lasers between AlGaInAs and InGaAsP material. Valence band effective masses and optical gain in both types of QW lasers under compressive strain have been calculated using 4 ×?4 Luttinger?CKohn Hamiltonian. We have used Kramers?CKronig relations to calculate the refractive index change due to carrier induced. The ??-factor was up to 1.61 times smaller in AlGaInAs QW than in InGaAsP QW laser. The material differential modal gain and carrier induced refractive index change was found to be approximately 1.38 times larger and 1.15 times smaller respectively, in the previous material QW than in the latter QW laser. We also compared our results to the previously reported results for both QWs lasers. 相似文献

Single-dot luminescence spectroscopy was used to study the emission linewidth of individual silicon nanocrystals from low temperatures up to room temperature. The results show a continuous line narrowing towards lower temperatures with a linewidth as sharp as 2 meV at 35 K. This value, clearly below the thermal broadening at this temperature, proves the atomiclike emission from silicon quantum dots subject to quantum confinement. The low temperature measurements further reveal a approximately 6 meV replica, whose origin is discussed. In addition, an approximately 60 meV TO-phonon replica was detected, which is only present in a fraction of the dots. 相似文献

The observation of quantum-dot resonance fluorescence enabled a new solid-state approach to generating single photons with a bandwidth approaching the natural linewidth of a quantum-dot transition. Here, we operate in the small Rabi frequency limit of resonance fluorescence--the Heitler regime--to generate subnatural linewidth and high-coherence quantum light from a single quantum dot. The measured single-photon coherence is 30 times longer than the lifetime of the quantum-dot transition, and the single photons exhibit a linewidth which is inherited from the excitation laser. In contrast, intensity-correlation measurements reveal that this photon source maintains a high degree of antibunching behavior on the order of the transition lifetime with vanishing two-photon scattering probability. Generating decoherence-free phase-locked single photons from multiple quantum systems will be feasible with our approach. 相似文献

The spatiotemporal dynamics of radiation in wide-aperture semiconductor quantum-dot lasers is studied analytically and numerically. It was found that the choice of relatively rapid amplifying layers with quantum dots of a small size and slow absorbing layers with a maximal rate of exciton capture from wetting layers is optimal for the stability of spatial dissipative solitons in a single-longitudinal-mode laser. A large relaxation time of the slow absorber was found to result in a substantial decrease in the sensitivity of solitons to the tilt of the mirrors, which increases their stability and gives real chances of the experimental revealing of laser solitons. 相似文献

Frequency stabilization of mid-IR quantum cascade (QC) lasers to the kilohertz level has been accomplished by use of electronic servo techniques. With this active feedback, an 8.5-microm QC distributed-feedback laser is locked to the side of a rovibrational resonance of nitrous oxide (N(2) O) at 1176.61cm (-1) . A stabilized frequency-noise spectral density of 42Hz/ radicalHz has been measured at 100 kHz; the calculated laser linewidth is 12 kHz. 相似文献

We present the analysis of threshold conditions that produces wideband- stimulated emission in semiconductor quantum-dot laser. Our theoretical model reveals critical occurrence of broadband lasing when the energy spacing between quantized energy states (ΔE) is comparable to the inhomogeneous broadening of quantum dot nanostructures. 相似文献

The stability properties of injection-current profiled quantum dot lasers are analyzed for broad area devices of different length. In general, devices demonstrate stable output at low to moderate injection levels before the onset of filamentary dynamics at higher injection levels. By comparing devices of different lengths, the onset of filamentary dynamics is shown to coincide in each case with the onset of excited state lasing and so the loss in stability may be linked to the increased low frequency noise and phase-amplitude coupling that occurs in this regime. 相似文献

Proton beams with energies of 10 and 200 MeV were irradiated onto InAs quantum dot lasers with a wavelength of 1.3 μm. The increase in threshold current by proton irradiation was small compared with those of the previously reported other quantum dot lasers with larger active region and 1.3-μm InGaAsP quantum well lasers. These results were discussed by taking account of non-ionizing energy loss and effective volume of active region. 相似文献

A Landau–Pekar variational theory is employed to obtain the ground and the first excited state binding energies of an electron bound to a Coulomb impurity in a polar semiconductor quantum dot (QD) with parabolic confinement in both two and three dimensions. It is found that the binding energy increase with increasing the Coulomb binding parameter and increase with the decrease in size of the QD and is much more pronounced with decreasing dimensionality. 相似文献

We study the feedback-induced instabilities in a quantum dot semiconductor laser emitting in both ground and excited states. Without optical feedback the device exhibits dynamics corresponding to antiphase fluctuations between ground and excited states, while the total output power remains constant. The introduction of feedback leads to power dropouts in the ground state and intensity bursts in the excited state, resulting in a practically constant total output power. 相似文献

We discuss the influence of wetting layer doping on the
turn-on dynamics of a quantum dot (QD) laser by using a
microscopically based rate equation model which separately treats
the dynamics of electrons and holes. As the carrier-carrier
scattering rates depend nonlinearly on the wetting layer carrier
densities we observe drastic changes of relaxation oscillation
frequency and damping if the wetting layer is doped. We gain insight
into the nonlinear dynamics of the QD laser by a detailed analysis
of various sections of the five-dimensional phase space focusing on
changes in the coupling between QD electron and holes dynamics. 相似文献

Since the external cavity quantum dot laser was first demonstrated, the performances have been improved in terms of operation temperature, output power, pulse generator and tuneability based on the naturally size fluctuation of quantum dot. Nowadays, the external cavity quantum dot sources have been successfully used in different absorption spectroscope techniques, in industry, biomedical and research. In this paper we reviewed the recent developments of quantum dot lasers operated in a grating-coupled external cavity system where a single frequency and wide tunable wavelength range were easily obtained by adjusting the grating angle. In all cases, we mainly stressed the significant progresses in understanding of basic optical and electronic properties to enable the importance steps forward. The prospects for further progress directed towards stability, mode-hoping-free tuning range, miniaturization and integration of the external cavity quantum dot lasers also reviewed. 相似文献

The impact of injection current profiling on the spatial mode structure of quantum dot semiconductor lasers is investigated. Numerical simulations based on a spatial extension of a simple rate equation model for quantum dot devices reveal the role of non-resonant carries in the appearance of strong dips in the optical field of the device. Symmetry breaking may also occur whereby the position of the dip shifts from the centre of the injection region. 相似文献

We report electron and hole tunnelling phenomena in a single self-assembled quantum dot as a function of the applied electric field. We use absorption spectroscopy which allows us to measure excitonic transitions under conditions where optical recombination cannot be observed due to the high, ionizing, electric field. 相似文献
