Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the implementation of integrated two-wavelength semiconductor lasers for frequency tunable THz wave generation, 800-nm-band tunable single-mode lasers were fabricated and evaluated. To improve laser performance, a high-gain GaAsP strained quantum well was employed as an active layer. From tunable DBR lasers with an ITO thin-film heater and periodically slotted single-mode lasers, stable single-mode lasing and wide wavelength tuning were achieved. Quantum well disordering technique to reduce the absorption loss in the passive waveguide was also established, and several types of the integrated two-wavelength lasers were investigated. As a result of optimization, tunable integrated two-wavelength lasers consisting of tunable single-mode lasers mentioned above and a Y-branch waveguide amplifier are under fabrication.
