A new self-aligned rib-waveguide structure using a large optical cavity for high-power single-mode operation is presented. cw output powers of 40 mW are achieved with linear light-current (L-I) characteristics and single transverse and longitudinal modes. Over the temperature interval 10 to 60 °C, we find a typical T0 of 270 K. This laser is easily coupled to a single-mode fiber and has been modulated to 2 GHz with only a 3-dB loss in output power.
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.
