In order to improve the lateral mode and spectral characteristics of wide ridge waveguide semiconductor laser
in this paper
a distributed feedback semiconductor laser with lateral microstructure ridge waveguide and high-order surface grating is proposed. In order to make the device have better lateral modes and narrow line width
two microstructure regions are introduced to both sides of the ridge waveguide. Due to the different optical field distribution of each order lateral modes
the introduction of microstructure regions increases the loss difference between the fundamental lateral mode and the higher-order lateral modes. Therefore
The "multilobe" phenomenon of far-field spot is eliminated
and the output power is improved. At the same time
with the help of high-order surface grating
the linewidth of the device is further narrowed. In the case of a ridge waveguide width of 50 μm and a cavity length of 1 mm
the high-order lateral modes are suppressed. The output power is increased by 16.4%
the slope efficiency is increased by 17.9%
the electro-optic conversion efficiency is increased by 15% and an output near the fundamental lateral mode at 0.6 A. Compared with the conventional semiconductor device
the spectral characteristics have been effectively improved
the spectral linewidth is about 39 pm.
