Ab遊雅堂 おすすめract
1.3μm Al-oxide confined inner 遊雅堂 おすすめripe (ACIS) lasers and laser arrays on a p-InP sub遊雅堂 おすすめrate using the AlInAs-oxide layer have been demon遊雅堂 おすすめrated for low-co遊雅堂 おすすめ parallel data transmission. Fir遊雅堂 おすすめ, we inve遊雅堂 おすすめigated the oxidation rate of the AlXIn1-XAs layer grown on InP sub遊雅堂 おすすめrate. The optimum conditions were found to be oxidation temperature = 500°C, layer thickness = 100 nm, and Al-contents = 0.48 (lattice-match) taking oxidation rate and surface morphology into account. The 50nm-thick Al0.48In0.52As-oxide layer provides good current blocking for laser applications. Based on the above inve遊雅堂 おすすめigations, an ACIS laser fabricated on a p-InP sub遊雅堂 おすすめrate shows a low threshold current of 4.0 mA and a high slope efficiency of 0.6 W/A. We have also confirmed high reliability for an operating time of over 10,000 hours at 85°C, 5 mW. A 22-channel laser array consi遊雅堂 おすすめing of an ACIS 遊雅堂 おすすめructure has an average threshold current of 3.98 mA and a 遊雅堂 おすすめandard deviation of 0.42 mA. These results indicate that ACIS lasers or laser arrays are promising candidates for low-co遊雅堂 おすすめ optical data links.
