A method of maskless selective area epitaxy of InAs quantum dots using underlying InGaAs is presented. By using standard lithography techniques, selective area epitaxy of quantum dots was achieved on In/sub 0.20/Ga/sub 0.80/As layers with a QD density exceeding 3/spl times/10/sup 10/ cm/sup 2/. The advantage of this method lies in the lack of oxide or nitride mask material, allowing for a single regrowth process that is not complicated by any additional thermal dose or growth rate enhancement.

To obtain a large near-field spot-size (i.e. narrow far-field FWHM), a narrow waveguide design is utilized in edge-emitting lasers to expand the transverse mode. A similar situation was observed for the lateral VCSEL mode for a very small aperture oxide-define waveguide structure. A narrow-waveguide VCSEL design incorporating a separate current confinement aperture is shown schematically. This design then allows one to adjust the optical overlap with the gain region by choosing the current aperture. The device is fabricated by two-step MOCVD growth.

Summary form only given. We demonstrate high Q vertically coupled passive microdisk resonators based on the InP material system as a first step towards utilizing active devices, and to understand the parameters limiting their performance. Vertical coupling is chosen because it exhibits two major advantages compared to the lateral geometry, namely: i) precise control of the coupling coefficient by epitaxial growth; ii) the material composition of the waveguides and resonator can be optimized and grown independently, which facilitates the design of active microdisk devices - ON/OFF switches, modulators and microdisk lasers.

We have successfully designed and demonstrated a novel wide angular scan range, large diameter aperture optical beam scanner for ultrafast nanosecond scan setting speeds. The free-space wavelength multiplexed optical scanner (W-MOS) offers powerful scanner features in a compact and simple to build and control package leading to potentially wide spread use of this technology.

We report the use of the FEM to calculate the dispersion relation for a 2D photonic crystal lattice in a dielectric slab. Because it is difficult to build periodic structures in three dimensions, the lower dimensional slab structures are preferred and fabricated to demonstrate various types of photonic crystal devices such as a defect cavity laser and waveguide.

One approach to compact UV light sources is an all-solid-state 193 nm laser system, which utilizes an Er-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) of 1547 nm wavelength as part of the fundamental light source, and five-stage frequency conversion optics for generating the eighth harmonic of 193 nm light. We propose the use of Gd/sub x/Y/sub 1-x/Ca/sub 4/O(BO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ as the fourth-harmonic crystal to improve the wavelength conversion optics, and report the results of durability tests up to 500 hours.

The experimental results are obtained using an integrated all-active three-port semiconductor optical amplifier Mach Zehnder interferometric (SOA-MZI) wavelength converter. An advantage of using counter-propagating signals is that an optical filter is not required at the output of the wavelength converter. Based on a detailed experimental characterization of the modulated ASE, it has been shown that any subsequent filtering that takes place must be considered in setting the operating point of the wavelength converter.

We report on experimental results of optical performance monitoring (OPM) in a transparent optical network transmitting channels modulated at 10 Gb/s. This experiment was performed in an entirely field installed DWDM ring network (DWDM ring capacity: 80/spl times/10 Gb/s) with configurable optical add drop multiplexers (OADMs) at different locations within the city of Berlin, Germany.
