摘要
In this letter, we report on the fabrication and characterization of InAs-InP (100) quantum-dot (QD) Fabry-Perot and ring lasers, lasing in the 1.55-mu m wavelength range and employing narrow deeply etched ridge waveguides (1,65 mu m width). The performance of the lasers appears not affected by sidewall recombination effects of the deeply etched waveguide structure. Narrow deeply etched ridge waveguides can be mono-mode and allow for a small bending radius to realize compact integrated devices. As a demonstration, we present results on a compact ring laser with a free spectral range close to 40 GHz. Due to the low absorption of the QDs, unpumped output waveguides can be used.
