Gain-Coupled Distributed-Feedback Effects in GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum-Wire Arrays

  • Published : 2003.10.01

Abstract

GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-wire (QWR) gain-coupled distributed-feedback (GC-DFB) lasers are fabricated and characterized Constant metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth is used to avoid grating overgrowth during the fabrication of DFB structures. Numerical calculation shows large gain anisotropy by optical feedback along the DFB directions near Bragg wavelength. DFB lasing via QWR active gratings is also experimentally achieved.
