“…Given the intrinsic difference between III-As and III-Sb semiconductors, 22,23) such as the more lateral current spreading caused by the strong asymmetry conductivity between vertical and lateral directions resulting from the much higher hole mobility (750-1000 cm 2 V −1 s −1 at 300 K) 22) of GaSb than of GaAs as a cap layer in the epitaxy structure, and the poor thermal conductivity of the III-Sb semiconductors, 23,24) the effectiveness of a BA waveguide with an etched microstripe structure in improving the carrier leakage, accumulation, and thermal behavior of GaSb-based BA lasers was demonstrated. The significantly improved threshold characteristics, output power, quantum efficiency, and single-lobed FF of GaSb-based BA lasers were demonstrated.…”
