Taper-Directional Coupler Integrated Rectangular LaserYang, Shun-yuan 07 August 2008 (has links)
Semiconductor ring laser diodes (SLD) have been receiving attention for their potential use as source in photonic integrated circuits. Advantages of a ring laser include ease of integration because of no need for cleaved facets and they can be made very
compact by folding their cavity .
Ring laser have a unique feature, clockwise and counter- clockwise, in their lasing modes. If unidirectional traveling-wave oscillation can be achieved, spatial hole burning effects seen in Fabry-Perot and distributed feedback lasers can be avoided. In this work, the unidirectional oscillation is accomplished by controlling the taper shape structure. The whole laser cavity is formed using four reflection mirrors (TIR) and an output coupler passive
waveguide.
According to the Beam propagation Method (BPM) simulation, we find that the clockwise and counterclockwise oscillations have different behavior under various taper shape , indicating bidirectional oscillation can be eliminated. Moreover, bending loss¡Bmode transformation and optical gain are all included in calculation
model.
The waveguide is fabricated in the following steps: (1) ion implantation to get electrical isolation (2) selectively wet etching to form waveguide ridge (3) evaporation n- and p- electrode (4)spatter with Si3N4(5) planarization (6) evaporation microwave transmission line.
