摘要

Surface-emitting lasers have become very important for communications and other applications because of their low cost and high reliability. Currently the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is the surface-emitter of choice. However, VCSELs are limited to low powers (5 mW CW) and short wavelengths (1300 nm). This dissertation presents theoretical and experimental work on second-order, surface-emitting distributed feedback lasers, which have the potential of providing ∼100 mW pulsed power at wavelengths up to and including 1550 nm. We show that a thin p-cladding InGaAs/InGaP/GaAs laser structure with a second-order Au/air grating (70% duty cycle) and asymmetrically coated (30%, 5% reflectivity) cleaved facets emits in a diffraction-limited single lobe in a direction virtually normal to the chip surface. The device operates with an external differential quantum efficiency, ηD, of around 20% when the phase of the uncoated facet with respect to the grating is near π/4 (i.e. in the 45*–65* range). Single-lobe emission normal to the chip surface (i.e. symmetric-mode lasing) can then be obtained from devices without cleaved mirrors by introducing a phase shift close to π/2 in the center of the second-order grating. For the structure used, a phase shift of 90°–130° in the center of 1 mm-long gratings is found to provide single-lobe surface emission with ηD values as high as 22%. Even higher values (e.g. 35%) Of ηD can be obtained by increasing the grating-section length, but the near-field becomes more non-uniform, making the device susceptible to multimode operation as a result of GSHB. However, we also show here that one can simultaneously achieve high values Of ηD and high uniformity of the near-field by placing 1st-order DBR reflectors at the ends of a 2nd-order surface-emitting DFB. This result has important implications for the development of high power surface-emitting DFB lasers, which can potentially provide 100mW CW (single-stripe devices) and >1 W CW (array surface-emitters) in a stable single-mode, single-lobed beam pattern.
