Abstract

Demonstrated are AlxGayIn1-x-yAs/InP strain-compensated multi-quantum-well self-aligned ridge lasers with excellent high-temperature and high-speed characteristics. To characterize their performance, noise spectra are measured to determine the relaxation resonance frequency. A maximum resonance frequency over 15.6 GHz is observed for facet output power of 14 mW, at a bias current of 66 mA. The estimated intrinsic 3dB modulation bandwidth at 25°C has exceeded 23 GHz. Moreover, a maximum resonance frequency over 10 GHz is measured at 85°C with a bias current of 56 mA above threshold. Intrinsic 3dB modulation bandwidth estimated above 15 GHz at 85°C is achieved. The differential gain at room temperature is as high as 14 × 10-12m3s-1, and drops to 7.5 × 10-12m3s-1 at 85°C. These values are deemed representative of record values reported for 1.3 μm AlGaInAs laser devices.
