Abstract
A 1.3 /spl mu/m Al-oxide confined inner stripe laser on p-InP substrate (PACIS) has been demonstrated for low cost laser array application. First, we have investigated the oxidation rate of Al/sub x/In/sub 1-x/As layer grown on InP substrate. The optimum conditions were found to be oxidation temperature=500/spl deg/C, layer thickness=100 nm, and Al-contents=0.48 (lattice-match) taking oxidation rate and surface morphology into account. The 50 nm-thick Al/sub 0.48/In/sub 0.52/As-oxide layer provides good current blocking for laser applications. Based on the above investigations, the fabricated PACIS laser 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 under driving time over 3,000 hours at 85/spl deg/C, 5 mW. A 22-channel laser array consisted of PACIS structure have the average threshold current of 3.98 mA and the standard deviation of 0.42 mA.
