Low threshold current density and high characteristic temperature narrow-stripe native oxide-confined 1.3-mum InGaAsN
Abstract:
InGaAsN triple-quantum-well (TQW) 4-mum ridge waveguide (RWG) lasers were fabricated using pulsed anodic oxidation. High output power of 290 mW (both facets), low transparency current density of 389 A/cm2 (equivalent to 130 A/cm2/well) and high characteristic temperature (T0) of 157.2 K were obtained from the InGaAsN TQW RWG lasers. InGaAsN single-quantum-well (SQW) 4-mum RWG lasers were also fabricated for comparison. Extremely low threshold current (Ith) of 15.7 mA was obtained from InGaAsN SQW RWG laser (4 x 500 mum2). However, InGaAsN SQW laser showed strong temperature dependence of Ith and presented much lower T0 than that of InGaAsN TQW lasers. Ridge height effects on the T0 of RWG lasers were also demonstrated.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The semiconductor's...
