In this paper, we have studied InAsP/InGaP/InP strain-compensated lasers with 10 QWs grown by all solid source molecular beam epitaxy (SSMBE). High characteristic temperature T/sub 0/ value of about 100 K in the temperature range 20-80/spl deg/C and low threshold current density of 87 A/cm/sup 2/ per well for infinite cavity length are reported. Our results clearly demonstrate the suitability of the InAsP/InGaP strain-compensated system for lasers operating at elevated temperatures. Also, together with our earlier studies the obtained results show that SSMBE is a competitive growth method for optoelectronic devices.

The application of synchrotron white beam X-ray topography (SWBXT) as a non-destructive diagnostic technique to the characterization of defect structures in large size InP single crystals was presented. Various kinds of defect configurations, including slip bands, micro-twin lamellae, growth striations, individual dislocations, and precipitates, were revealed. The relationship between defect formation and growth conditions was briefly discussed.

The generation of short optical pulses at 1.55 /spl mu/m with a high frequency repetition is of great interest for future optical communication systems as Optical Time Division Multiplexed (OTDM) systems. Such sources have been widely investigated but most of the techniques (active, passive and hybrid modelocking...) are often limited by a low output optical power and a small tunability of the repetition rate. To overcome these limitations and to allow a flexible soliton transmission, we developed a two-section MQW-DFB laser diode structure based on the Q-switching effect. The two-segment configuration consists of a long length (gain section) combined to a short length (saturable absorber section). The gain section is biased in a CW forward mode while a modulated voltage, around a value lower than the built-in voltage (0.8 V for 1.53 /spl mu/m), is applied to the saturable absorber. The LD fabrication and characteristics are discussed.
产生频率为1.55 /spl μ m /m的高重复短光脉冲对于光时分复用(OTDM)等未来光通信系统具有重要意义。这类光源已经得到了广泛的研究,但大多数技术(主动、被动和混合模型锁定…)往往受到输出光功率低和重复率可调性小的限制。为了克服这些限制并允许灵活的孤子传输,我们开发了基于q开关效应的两段MQW-DFB激光二极管结构。两段结构包括一个长长度(增益部分)和一个短长度(可饱和吸收部分)。增益部分以连续波正向模式偏置,同时在可饱和吸收器上施加一个约低于内置电压(1.53 /spl mu/m时0.8 V)的调制电压。讨论了LD的制备方法和特点。

Carrier transport is supposed to be one of the major limiting processes for the high speed dynamics of SCH-MQW laser structures. It contributes to gain compression in addition to phenomena like spectral holeburning or carrier heating. The carrier transport effect also shows its influence in an RC-like rolloff of the high frequency response of laser devices. This reduction in bandwidth has been studied in the past to overcome transport problems in finding the appropriate structure, It has been proposed that it is mostly the slow transport of the heavier holes which limits the laser bandwidth. In this paper we have studied the phenomenon of carrier transport by investigating two asymmetric confined laser structures, using a parasitic-free optical modulation method. This made it possible to measure the apparent carrier transport time not only in total but for each side of the confinement layer. Finally we result in a diffusion constant for the barrier/confinement carriers in InGaAlAs material which is in good agreement with reported mobilities.

A 3-bit multi-Gigasamples/sec (Gs/s) flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for high-speed data acquisition systems is reported in this paper. Nyquist operation up to 8 Gs/s has been achieved. The quantizer can convert analog input signals beyond fs/2 up to fs at a sampling rate of 5 Gs/s. In addition, the converter can be operated up to 12.7 Gs/s when the input signal is at low frequencies. This ADC is fabricated in an AlInAs-GaInAs HBT process fabricated on InP substrates with an f/sub T/ of 75 GHz and f/sub max/ of 85 GHz.

In this work we have investigated the MOVPE growth of multi-period InGaAsP/InP quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) layer structures and provide evidence that the QCSE response can be influenced by optimizing the gas exchange procedure, mainly to minimize carry-over effects. Secondly, we present new results on the thermal stability behaviour of these MQW structures which appear to be strongly related with the underlying buffer layer and substrate material.

In a metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) reactor two optical methods, reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) are applied simultaneously for a general characterisation of all steps of growth. The deoxidation behaviour of InP is studied in order to determine the desorption temperature of InP oxide. The influences of doping to the optical spectra are measured with RAS and the surface temperature of InP is determined in-situ from the optical data. Finally, the growth rates of InGaP on GaAs are determined with RAS by the evaluation of Fabry-Perot like oscillations during growth.
