摘要
Significant improvements in the performance of pdoped ten-layer InAs/InGaAs quantum dot laser are demonstrated using rapid thermal annealing at 600 degrees C. The annealed laser shows about 2.7 times increase in the saturated output power and external differential quantum efficiency without obvious wavelength shift. Decrease in internal loss of 2.9 cm(-1) and improvement in the threshold current by 23% are achieved. Defect reduction is thought to be the most likely mechanism contributing to the improved performance according to the electroluminescence and improved characteristic temperature behavior.
