摘要
Room temperature continuous-wave operation of 1.3-mu m single-mode GaInNAs-AlGaAs distributed feedback (DFB)-lasers has been realized, The laser structure has been grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using an electron cyclotron resonance plasma source for nitrogen activation (ECR-MBE). Laterally to the laser ridge a metal grating is patterned in order to obtain DFB, The evanescent field of the laser mode couples to the grating resulting in single-mode DFB emission. The continuous wave threshold currents are around 120 mA for a cavity with 800-mu m length and 2 mu m width, Monomode emission with side-mode suppression ratios of nearly 40 dB have been obtained.
