On the nature of quantum dash structures J. Appl. Phys. 95, 6103 (2004); 10.1063/1.1715135Dependence of the emission wavelength on the internal electric field in quantum-dot laser structures grown by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition
We report on the design and fabrication of a novel wideband superluminescent diode (SLD) based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot structure. In this device, we monolithically integrate a photon absorber section to suppress lasing action and optical feedback oscillation. The fabricated SLDs produce a close-to-Gaussian shaped spectrum centered at 1210 nm with a bandwidth of 135 nm. Spectral ripple as low as 0.3 dB has been measured.Index Terms-Broadband light source, optical coherence tomography (OCT), quantum dot (QD), superluminescent diode.
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.
