    摘要: A structure having first and second layers is disposed on a substrate. The second layer is disposed on the first layer, is compressively strained, and comprises the alloy including germanium and tin. The structure comprises first and second members spaced a distance from each other along a direction, a strip located between the first and second members and extending along an axis intersecting the direction, and arms connecting the first and second members to a first end of the strip. The first and second members, the strip and the arms comprise respective portions of the first and second layers. A portion of the first layer at the strip and arms is removed such that the strip and arms become suspended and the arms remain anchored to the first layer via the first and second members. Tensile strain is induced in the alloy via the arms. The alloy may perform lasing.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device on a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor device is adapted to provide target lasing properties, the method includes creating, a mask layer over the semiconductor substrate, the mask layer having at least one opening to expose a region of the semiconductor substrate, etching using a first etching process the exposed region, utilizing inductively coupled plasma with preselected first set of parameters to obtain a baseline mesa profile, the baseline mesa profile having a baseline mesa angle, re-etching using a second etching process the etched region, utilizing inductively coupled plasma with preselected second set of parameters, to alter the baseline mesa profile to obtain a requisite mesa profile having a requisite mesa angle defined by the target lasing properties and the requisite mesa angle being different from the baseline mesa angle, removing the mask layer and defining a p-n junction for the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A surface emitting laser element includes a lower Bragg reflection mirror; an upper Bragg reflection mirror; and a resonator region formed between the lower Bragg reflection mirror and the upper Bragg reflection mirror, and including an active layer. A wavelength adjustment region is formed in the lower Bragg reflection mirror or the upper Bragg reflection mirror, and includes a second phase adjustment layer, a wavelength adjustment layer and a first phase adjustment layer, arranged in this order from a side where the resonator region is formed. An optical thickness of the wavelength adjustment region is approximately (2N+1)×λ/4, and the wavelength adjustment layer is formed at a position where an optical distance from an end of the wavelength adjustment region on the side of the resonator region is approximately M×λ/2, where λ is a wavelength of emitted light, M and N are positive integers, and M is N or less.

    摘要: Single-mode, distributed feedback interband cascade lasers (ICLs) using distributed-feedback gratings (e.g., lateral Bragg gratings) and methods of fabricating such ICLs are provided. The ICLs incorporate distributed-feedback gratings that are formed above the laser active region and adjacent the ridge waveguide (RWG) of the ICL. The ICLs may incorporate a double-ridge system comprising an optical confinement structure (e.g., a RWG) disposed above the laser active region that comprises the first ridge of the double ridge system, a DFB grating (e.g., lateral Bragg grating) disposed above the laser active region and adjacent the optical confinement structure, and an electric confinement structure that passes at least partially through the laser active region and that defines the boundary of the second ridge comprises and the termination of the DFB grating.
