摘要
The reactive-ion etching (RIE) process in fabricating mirror facets for AlGaAs/GaAs buried multiquantum well (BMQW) lasers has been developed. The lasers have a window structure where a mirror is formed by RIE. Window and BMQW structures are fabricated by Zn-diffusion-induced disordering. Because of no carrier injection, the damage caused by RIE does not affect the characteristics of the lasers. The lasers having one facet formed by RIE and the other by cleaving operate in the fundamental transverse mode. A low threshold current (25 mA) and high external quantum efficiency are comparable to those of cleaved lasers.
