In this thesis, we focus on the investigation of semiconductor optical amplifier and ring laser. We use InP based multiple quantum well epi-wafer with modulation doping in the active layer to design the semiconductor optical amplifier and ring laser for the optical communication at 1.55£gm wavelength. We combine the concept of Loop Mirror and Asymmetric Mach-Zehnder Interferometer to obtain the laser with good side mode suppression for a single wavelength light source. For the semiconductor optical amplifier, we design two different types, one is the Fabry-Perot Amplifier and the other is the Traveling Wave Amplifier. Furthermore, We use the Multi-Step Undercutting process in the fabrication of these two devices.
We have established an optical measurement system, including the L-I measurement, the optical spectrum measurement and the far field measurement, to test the device parameters.
After annealing, these devices with two different serial number exhibited the contact resistances of 9£[ and 16£[, respectively. Under CW operation, these FPA exhibited the threshold current of 62mA and 70mA at 20¢J, respectively. The stimulated emission wavelength was at 1531nm and 1522nm, respectively.
