研究目的
To demonstrate a narrow-strip single-longitudinal-mode gain-coupled distributed feedback semiconductor laser with a central wavelength of approximately 670 nm, fabricated using a novel micro-scale regrowth-free gain-coupled grating with an island-like shape without nanoscale gratings by i-line lithography only.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a narrow-strip single-longitudinal-mode gain-coupled DFB semiconductor laser with a central wavelength of approximately 670 nm. The laser achieves good performance with a maximum output power of 48.1 mW and a slope efficiency of 0.79 W/A. The device shows potential for applications in lithium atom detection and other areas requiring stable, single-longitudinal-mode lasers.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term reliability of the fabricated lasers under continuous operation. The fabrication process, while simpler than previous methods, still requires precise control over lithography and etching parameters.
