摘要
We demonstrate a distributed Bragg reflector strained-layer multiple-quantum-well laser at 1.5-mu-m wavelength with an integrated tapered waveguide beam expander. The far-field FWHM's in the lateral and vertical directions are 10 and 15-degrees, respectively. A quantum efficiency of 17% out the tapered facet was measured with a corresponding threshold current of 28 mA. The alignment tolerances for coupling into a cleaved single-mode fiber are 9.5 and 7.5-mu-m FWHM in the lateral and vertical directions, respectively. We obtained a 3-dB improvement for single-mode fiber coupling using a SELFOC lens.
