A 920 nm InGaAs/(Al)GaAs high-power quantum-dot laser material was developed with optimized geometric parameters, i.e., dot size, dot density and size distribution, and an appropriate laser design to allow an internal temperature compensation of the emission wavelength by a tailored spectral gain profile. The laser structure was grown by solid source molecular-beam epitaxy and consisted in a separate confinement heterostructure design with a large optical cavity. Due to the cavity length dependence of the total cavity losses, the operation point is shifted and reached a very low temperature coefficient of 0.081 nm K −1 for a cavity length of 2.6 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
