摘要
An experimental study of factors determining the optical feedback efficiency in the structure of a laser-thyristor emitting at a wavelength of 905 nm has been carried out. It is shown that the spontaneous emission spectrum undergoes a significant change in the working range of currents due to the presence of GaAs-spacers in the structure of the active region of the laser part and to the absence of saturation of the spontaneous emission flux beyond the lasing threshold. It is demonstrated that the influence exerted by the reverse voltage across the collector p-n junction of the transistor part comes down to the following two effects: deformation of the edge of the absorption spectrum and turn-on of the impact ionization. Experimental dependences of the photogeneration rate on both current and voltage were obtained for the p-base of the transistor part. These dependences are an important tool to be used in subsequent studies aimed to simulate and examine the injection and generation processes in power laser-thyristors.
