970 nm超辐射发光二极管弯曲脊形波导数值分析

本文基于光束传播法(beam propagation method, BPM)和时域有限差分法(finite difference time domain method, FDTD)建立了分析模型,模拟并分析了弯曲脊形波导超辐射发光二极管(superluminescent light emitting diode, SLD)不同结构参数(刻蚀深度、曲率半径、脊形宽度)对波导损耗的影响和倾斜脊形波导不同结构参数(刻蚀深度、脊形宽度、倾斜角度、发射波长)对模式反射率的影响。计算表明,弯曲脊形波导的刻蚀深度和曲率半径是影响波导损耗的重要因素。刻蚀深度较浅使波导对光场的限制作用较弱,过小的曲率半径会使模式传输泄露严重,损耗大大增加。脊形宽度越大,波导损耗越小,其对波导损耗影响较小。脊形波导的端面倾斜角度是抑制模式反射率的重要因素,脊形宽度增加,模式反射率逐渐减小,并在特定的几个角度形成的奇点达到最小值。刻蚀深度对于模式反射率的影响作用较小,但随着刻蚀深度的增加,奇点发生的角度产生了向小角度偏移。在特定的倾斜角度范围内,随着波长减小,奇点的数目会逐渐增加。研究结果可对设计具有优越性能的SLD器件...

Active multi-mode-interferometer broadband superluminescent diodes

We report a new quantum dot superluminescent diode with a new device structure. In this device, a multi-mode-interferometer configuration and a J-bend structure were monolithically integrated. Owing to the multi-mode-interferometer structure, the superluminescent diode exhibits 60% increase in output power and 43% reduction in the differential resistance compared with the uniform waveguide width superluminescent diode fabricated from the same wafer. Our device produces an emission spectrum as wide as 103.7 nm with an output power of 2.5 mW at 600 mA continue-wave injection current. This broadband emission spectrum makes the axial resolution of the optical coherence tomography system employing the superluminescent diode to 6 μ m in theory, which is high enough for most tissue imaging.

External Cavity Lasers Composed of Higher Order Gratings and SLDs Integrated on PLC Platform

Very compact 4‐channel 200‐GHz‐spacing external cavity lasers (ECLs) were fabricated by hybrid integration of reflection gratings and superluminescent laser diodes on a planar lightwave circuit chip. The fifth‐order gratings as reflection gratings were formed using a conventional contact‐mask photo‐lithography process to achieve low‐cost fabrication. The lasing wavelength of the fabricated ECLs matched the ITU grid with an accuracy of ×0.1 nm, and optical powers were more than 0.4 mW at the injection current of 80 mA for all channels. The ECLs showed single mode operations with more than 30 dB side lobe suppression.
