Abstract

A 1550 nm-band InAs/InGaAlAs quantum dot (QD) distributed feedback (DFB) laser is fabricated, in which the side-wall grating is formed in a simultaneous process with the ridge waveguide, and room-temperature continuous-wave single-mode oscillation is achieved. A rather low-threshold current density of about 2.2 kA cm−2 is obtained. Side-mode suppression ratios (SMSRs) are 28 dB just above the threshold current Ith and 44 dB at I/Ith = 2.0. Antireflection (AR) coating suppresses the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and increases the slope efficiency by a factor of 1.3.
