In summary, we present a device design that incorporates to our knowledge the first cavity induced antiguiding on the lasing mode. Compared to other oxide confined InGaAs DBR QW VCSELs of this size, the antiguided device shows a large area stable near-field of 10 /spl mu/m diameter. We expect that once the resistance is reduced, the structure will show lowest order mode operation over a wide dynamic range.

It was shown that optical cross-connect node architectures, which suppress all first order crosstalk contributions, were necessary in order to give crosstalk requirements on multiplexers and space switches that are realistic to fulfil given current state of the art devices. Regarding accumulation of interferometric crosstalk and noise, large all-optical networks (>10 nodes in diameter with 32 inputs/outputs per node and 32 wavelengths per fibre) should be feasible, given component crosstalk of about -30 dB.

We experimentally demonstrated that the polarization mode of a VCSEL can be well controlled even under direct modulation by using the optical anisotropy of (n11)-oriented QWs. A schematic diagram is shown of a (311)A-oriented VCSEL with an oxide confinement structure. The epitaxial layer was grown on a GaAs(311)A substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The active region consists of In/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/As double quantum wells centered in a single-wavelength-thick Al/sub 0.5/Ga/sub 0.5/As cavity. The upper and bottom DBR mirrors consist of a 25- and 22.5-pair AlAs/GaAs quarter-wave stack, respectively. A typical L-I characteristic is shown under continuous wave (CW) operation at 25/spl deg/C. The threshold current is 1.0 mA, and the lasing wavelength is around 990 nm.

The lasing wavelength of a VCSEL is primarily determined by the effective cavity thickness which can be varied by changing the thickness of the /spl lambda/-spacer or the DBR layers. There have been many efforts in making MW-VCSEL arrays, where different methods of varying the effective cavity thickness were explored. Among all these methods, patterned-substrate MBE growth presents a very attractive approach since only a single growth is necessary and wide and accurate wavelength spans can be achieved with in-situ monitoring. In this paper, we review two patterned substrate methods. Both lead to simultaneous achievements of wide /spl lambda/ spacing, high yield and high performance. The comparison between the two methods is discussed.

We have already developed a lensless optical floppy disk system. In this paper an ultra high density optical memory disk system of T bits/inch/sup 2/ with G bits/s data transfer rate is newly proposed using near field optics, of which tracks are electric controlled. The optical heads in this system use 100/spl times/100 microcavity VCSEL arrays. One track width on the disk is 20 nm which is fine controlled by an electrical method using a 150/spl times/150 photo-diode array and the whole head is controlled by a conventional optical and electric-mechanical method in seeking tracks.

Optoelectronic systems can be intricate and difficult to analyze. With the necessary integration of new devices as well as with the increase in complexity of optoelectronic systems, analysis and design of such systems has become a lengthy and time-consuming effort. However, the use of efficient computer simulation tools with accurate device models can help alleviate such problems. Currently we are developing an optoelectronic system simulator that makes use of a new quantum-well laser model.

To analyze experimental results in group-III nitride lasers, it is necessary to be able to predict their gain spectra accurately. Both excitons and electron hole plasma play important roles in the optical properties of group-III nitride compounds, even under typical lasing conditions of high carrier density and high temperature. Also, inhomogeneous broadening is present, due to localization effects from dimensional or compositional variations in the quantum wells. This paper describes a consistent treatment of the above effects.

Just as Bragg gratings are a favored technique for wavelength-selective filtering in optical waveguide systems, switchable Bragg gratings are theoretically an optimum active WDM switching mechanism. To date however, few practical methods for switchable waveguide Bragg gratings are available that combine large dynamic range, index compatibility, good optical quality, and ease of fabrication. Recently, Sutherland and coworkers (1993, 1995, 1997) demonstrated a holographic polymerization process in a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal composite that results in efficient electronically switchable Bragg gratings (ESBG) with low scattering. We report the first waveguide WDM applications.

Increased bandwidth and functionality will be offered by WDM networks compared to single wavelength ones, with applications ranging from straightforward capacity enhancement through to switched virtual dark fiber carrying disparate traffic to customers' premises. However, their implementation depends on their capability of offering the users cost effective solutions. This means that WDM equipment must be built small, rugged with low power consumption and high functional density. The network access module (NAM) developed at Nortel as part of the optical networks technology consortium (ONTC) illustrates such integration.
