  • 摘要:

    腔面光学灾变损伤是导致高功率量子阱半导体激光器阈值输出功率受限制的关键因素。通过量子阱混杂技术调整半导体激光器腔面局部区域处有源区材料的带隙宽度,形成对输出光透明的非吸收窗口,可提高激光器输出功率。本文基于InGaAs/AlGaAs高功率量子阱半导体激光器初级外延片,以外延Si单晶层作为扩散源,结合快速热退火方法开展了杂质诱导量子阱混杂研究。探索了介质层生长温度、介质层厚度、热处理温度、热处理时间等条件对混杂效果的影响。结果表明,50 nm的650 °C低温外延Si介质层并结合875 °C/90 s快速热退火处理可在保证光致发光谱的同时获得约57 nm的波长蓝移量。能谱测试发现,Si杂质扩散到初级外延片上的波导层是导致量子阱混杂效果显著的关键。
