Optical Analysis and Optimization of Lossless and Lossy Distributed Bragg Reflector Using Transfer Matrix Method
The optical analysis of the lossless and lossy distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure using the transfer matrix method was reported. For DBR structures with different configurations of HL
HLH
LH and LHL
the optical field distributions were gained from the simulation. The theoretical analysis showed that the level of optical field amplitude within HL and HLH structure was much lower than other structures. For the extinction coefficient of 0.01
the energy absorption in HL and HLH DBR structures was only 10% of the one within LH and LHL structures. Due to the optical absorption
the reflectivity at the central wavelength of HL and HLH DBR structures decreased by 3.6%
comparing with 29.2% for LH and LHL structures. Thus
the reflectivity of DBR could be increased if the high index layer was used as the first layer
and the optical absorption could be decreased by this method. At last
the lossy DBR consisted of Al
0.12
Ga
0.88
As/Al
0.9
Ga
0.1
As was grown and its reflectivity was measured.
