High-power operation of aluminum-free (κ=0.98 μm) pumplaser for erbium-doped fiber amplifier

The authors discuss the fabrication and characteristics of high-power (P_CW=430 mW) InGaAs/InGaAsP/InGaP ridge waveguide lasers emitting at λ=0.98 μm, which is the optimum wavelength for pumping erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. In the past, high-power operation of Al-free pump lasers has been limited to 150 mW because of catastrophic optical damage of the mirror facet. This problem has been largely removed by increasing the spot size of the laser with the aid of an improved waveguide design. As a result, Al-free lasers can now achieve a maximum power comparable to the conventional GaAlAs-based pump lasers for λ=0.98 μm     

Optimization of grating duty factor in gain-coupled DFB lasers withabsorptive grating-analysis and fabrication

Grating duty factor strongly affects the performance of gain-coupled (GC) distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes with an absorptive grating. Through numerical analysis the authors have found an optimum value in the duty factor for their low threshold operation. The minimum threshold gain achievable at this optimum duty factor is found to be almost independent of the order of the grating. According to this prediction, the authors have fabricated GaAlAs/GaAs GC DFB lasers with a third-order absorptive grating where the grating duty factor has been made close to the theoretical optimum value. In 200-μm-long devices with both facets as-cleaved, low CW threshold current of 25 mA, external efficiency of 0.5 mW/mA, and SMSR as high as 45 dB have been obtained, which is qualitatively consistent with the analysis. High yield of single mode oscillation seems to be the result of the gain coupling     

Long-wavelength InGaAsP/InP distributed feedback lasersincorporating gain-coupled mechanism

Successful operation of long-wavelength InGaAsP low-threshold-current gain-coupled DFB lasers was demonstrated by using an InGaAsP quaternary grating that absorbs the DFB (distributed feedback) emission. The amount of gain (loss)-coupling is controlled by the composition (bandgap) and thickness of the grating quaternary and the InP-spacer layer between the grating and the active layer. With optimally designed lasers, CW (continuous-wave) threshold currents were 10-15 mA (250-μm cavity, as-cleaved), slope efficiency was ~0.4 mW/mA (both facets) and SMSR (side-mode suppression ratio) was as high as 52 dB. The laser operated in the same DFB mode with SMSR staying ~50 dB throughout the entire current range. At 100°C, the CW threshold current stayed low, ~50 mA, and SMSR was ~40 dB. Results also indicate that the presence of gain-coupling removes the degeneracy in lasing wavelength
