摘要
The temperature dependent threshold current and spectral output characteristics of InP-based 1.55-mu m distributed-feedback (DFB) ridge lasers made by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxial growth and regrowth, electron-beam lithography and grating formation, and reactive ion etching (RIE) have been characterized. Single-mode operation and T-o as high as 120 K at room temperature and below are measured. The high value of T-o is predominantly attributed to the tunnel injection design incorporated in the active region.
