 Lightwave - Bookham intros <I>in-situ</I> etch process for uncooled directly modulated ...
Power-efficient uncooled directly modulated lasers with extended reach are an important class of communications laser for which buried heterostructures are essential, as these structures mitigate the effects of thermally induced chirp and power rollover that adversely impact laser performance.
When the buried heterostructure is subsequently regrown on the material surface, any etch damage or impurities that remain at the surface can introduce a leakage current that increases the laser threshold current during device operation and degrades the laser's long-term reliability.
Overgrowth is performed immediately on the clean freshly etched surface, thereby preventing the surface contaminations and oxidation that can occur in the standard process of using an external etcher to which the material has to be transferred at the risk of damage and contamination.

A novel superlattice (SL) heterostructure, comprising of InTlSb well and InAsSb barrier lattice matched to InSb, is proposed for long wavelength 8-12 (mu)m detectors.
Energy band calculations have been made with and without consideration of strain for the heterostructure compositions y = 0.07 and x = 0.07, corresponding to the SL band gap in the wavelength region of 10 (mu)m.
As the material parameters for TlSb is not well established, many of the physical parameters needed for the energy band computation of the heterostructures such as band offsets and effective masses were estimated from the comparison of InTlSb with HgCdTe system.
