采用超低压(22×102Pa)选择区域生长(selective area growth,SAG)金属有机化学气相沉积(metal_organic chemical vapor deposition,MOCVD)技术成功制备了InGaAsP/InGaAsP级联电吸收调制器(electro absorption modulator,EAM)与分布反馈激光器(distributed feed backlaser,DFB)单片集成光源的新型光电器件.实验结果表明,采用该技术制备的器件具有良好的性能:激射阈值为19mA,出光功率为4·5mW,在5V的驱动电压下达到了20dB的消光比,器件3dB响应带宽达到了10GHz以上.应用这种新型器件,利用级联EAM的光开关效应,获得了重复率为10GHz、半高宽(full_width_at_half_maximum,FWHM)为13·7ps的超短光脉冲.
The compressively strained InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum well distributed feedback laser with ridge-wave- guide is fabricated at 1.74μm. It is grown by low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). A strain buffer layer is used to avoid indium segregation. The threshold current of the device uncoated with length of 300μm is 11.5mA. The maximum output power is 14mW at 100mA. A side mode suppression ratio of 35.5dB is obtained.
