摘要
We report measurements of strained InGaAs/GaAs quantum well laser diodes with electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma etched mirrors that are passivated and smoothed with a novel technique involving the selective area growth of GaAs by vacuum atomic layer epitaxy. The threshold current of as-cleaved, etched, and passivated devices has been studied and a significant improvement in mirror feedback is shown with the passivation and smoothing of etched mirrors oriented along the [001] planes.
