英文摘要The main contents of this doctoral thesis are the design, fabrication, characteristics measurement and applications of 2μm waveband InGaAs and antimonide strained quantum well laser diodes, and the technique of external cavity single longitudinal mode lasers. The design of 2μm waveband strained quantum well lasers includes the calculation of basic material parameter, the design of strained quantum well and the waveguide, related with the influence of strain on energy band, the calculation of the suband of strained quantum well, the dispersion of the refractive index and the confinement factors et al.. The fabrication technique includes the optical proceeding, etching, ohmic contact, soldering, sealed and the coated of the laser facet. The A1 component of the confinement layers of antimonide quantum well laser is so high that the chemical wet etching is very difficult to the fabrication of the refractive-guided structure. This difficulty has been overcome and the technique has been applied to the devices. The coating of the laser facets is very important for the high output power of laser diodes and the fabrication of the external cavity lasers. The anti-reflectivity film can be coated with a 10~(-3)-10~(-4) relectivity, owing to a real time monitor self-designed and maintained in the electron beam evaporator system for P-I curve measurement. Owing to the optimization of the design, the high quality of InGaAs and antimonide strained quantum well laser materials, and the mature proceeding for devices, 2μm waveband InGaAs and antimonide strained quantum well laser diodes have been fabricated successfully. The InGaAs laser diodes with 40μm-wide planar stripe are with 100mW pulsed peak optical power and a 1.82-1.84 wavelength at room temperature, a 325K of maximum pulsed operation temperature and a 200K of maximum CW operation temperature . The ridge-waveguided InGaAs laser diodes operates at 77K temperature and 1.88-1.91μm wavelength. The antimonide laser diodes with 80μm-wide planar stripe are with 500mW pulsed peak optical power and a 1.9μm of wavelength at room temperature. The antimonide laser diodes with 1.5μm-deep 20μm-wide mesa stripe operated at 77K temperature and 1.84-1.85μm wavelength. The analysis of the single longitudinal operation mechanism, the whole design and the master of key technique are important to the fabrication of 2μm waveband external cavity lasers. Based on the concept of effective cavity reflectivity and the rate equations, a simple model are given. Analysis of side mode suppression ratio, wavelength tunable range and output power, influenced by coupling efficiency, the dispersion characteristics of the grating system, the reflectivity of the laser chip facet, have been done. A new smart method for the adjustment of external cavity light way was proposed and proved to be very useful. Two kinds of external cavity lasers have been fabricated successfully. The grating external cavity laser is with a 30db of side mode suppression ratio , a 15nm of wavelength tunable range and lmW of output optical power, while the planar-mirror external cavity laser is with a 10db of side mode suppression ratio and instability. The measurement on electrical and optical characteristics of the laser diodes is a basic and important work. In this thesis, a detailed measurement on P-I curve and lasing spectrum of 2μm waveband InGaAs devices in the 77-300K temperature range has been done. Some special phenomena have been found and analyzed, which will be important to improve the quality of the materials and the performances of the devices. The 2μm waveband lasers have been applied in the measurement system for HgCdTe material uniformity, extending the spectral range from 0.8μm to 2μm and benefiting specially to the measurement of 2-3μm waveband HgCdTe material. The lasers have also been applied in the anti-radiation research of HgCdTe detectors and new data of the detective sensitivity, the responsive rate and the decay time of the optic electrical conductivity have been acquired. This thesis is an important part of the two following projects, 'Study on the midinfrared InGaAs/InGaAsP strained quantum well lasers and their physics' (Granted No.KJ706-01-06) and 'Study on III-V GaSb-based antimonide quantum well lasers and their applications' (Granted No.715-001-0142), which are supported by the 95' Key Basic Research Plan of Chinese Academy of Science and the 863 High Technical Research Project of China, respectively. The two projects are combined with the other two projects, carried out by the National Key Laboratory of Information Functional Material, Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy, Chinese Academy of Science. The 2μm waveband InGaAs and antimonide strained quantum well laser material were grown by GSMBE and MBE in this laboratory.
