In this paper, the available analog link performance of integrated transmitters containing a sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector laser, a semiconductor optical amplifier, and a modulator is evaluated. It is found that to provide a link gain and a low-noise figure, an RF preamplifier is required, and for this reason, spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) including a preamplifier has been evalu...Show More
Tunable semiconductor lasers have been listed in numerous critical technology lists for future optical communication and sensing systems. This paper summarizes a tutorial that was given at OFC '03. It includes some discussion of why tunable lasers might be beneficial, an outline of basic tuning mechanisms, some examples of tunable lasers that have been commercialized, and a discussion of control t...Show More
We present reliability data on widely tunable diode lasers with sampled grating Bragg mirrors. The lasers have a median life over two hundred years with a wear-out failure rate below 200 failures per billion device-hours.Show More
We report on a widely tunable transmitter based on a sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SG-DBR) laser monolithically integrated with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an electroabsorption (EA) modulator. Modulated time-averaged powers in excess of 5 dBm, RF extinction ratios >10 dB, and error-free transmission at 2.5 Gb/s for 350 km of standard single-mode fiber have been demon...Show More
We describe low-threshold (/spl sim/1 mA) GaInNAs VCSELs emitting at a wavelength of 1.2 /spl mu/m under continuous-wave room temperature operation. The bottom mirror consists of a 22.5-period n-doped GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) designed for a center wavelength /spl lambda/ near 1.2 /spl mu/m, the top mirror is a 20-period p-doped DBR with a Ti/Au contact electrode, and the GaAs /s...Show More
Summary form only given.GaAs-based vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes are becoming increasingly important in transmitters. By using GaInNAs MQW active regions, the emission wavelength of GaAs-based lasers can be extended into the range of 1200-1300 nm. In addition, the reduced temperature sensitivity of this active region allows for the possibility of uncooled transmitter operat...Show More
Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) emitting near 0.85 /spl mu/m are becoming increasingly important for short-haul optical fiber transmission systems. These devices benefit from highly reflective and thermally conductive all-epitaxial GaAs-based mirrors and efficient transverse confinement through AlAs-oxide dielectric apertures. Extending this commercially-established technology to ...Show More
We report, for the first time, room temperature continuous-wave (CW) operation of GaInNAs vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diodes emitting at a wavelength of 1.2 μm and grown all-epitaxially in a single step on a GaAs substrate. Oxide-apertured devices demonstrated CW threshold currents as low as 1 mA, slope efficiency above 0.045 W/A, and thermal impedance of 1.24 K/mW. Larger sized devices...Show More
Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are becoming increasingly important for short-haul optical fiber transmission systems. Given the commercial success of GaAs-based 850 nm VCSELs, dramatic enhancements in transmission bandwidth and distance can be achieved in conventional single- and multi-mode fiber by extending the emission wavelength to the 1300 nm-1550 nm range. GaInNAs is a prom...Show More
Group III-nitride-arsenides were grown by MBE employing a nitrogen radio frequency (rf) plasma. To improve the luminescence efficiency, both GaNAs and GaInNAs must be annealed, this anneal improves the crystal quality but also causes nitrogen outdiffusion. Broad area lasers and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have been fabricated.Show More
Nitride-arsenides are promising materials for long wavelength opto-electronic devices grown on GaAs substrates. The photoluminescence intensity of GaNAs and GaInNAs quantum wells increases drastically and shifts to shorter wavelengths following high temperature anneal. A study of PL after different annealing conditions revealed that the wavelength shift and the intensity increase occur together. W...Show More
Summary form only given. We have demonstrated an inline fiber optic filter using a GaAs ARROW waveguide as the overlay. It has a rejection ratio of 11 dB and a bandwidth of 7 nm. The inclusion of quantum wells in the waveguide core will lead to a new class of integrated fiber devices, including modulators, detectors, amplifiers, and lasers.Show More
