Four-wavelength Microdisk Lasers Laterally Coupling to an Output Bus Waveguide

摘要

A multiple-wavelength GaInAsP/InP microlaser with microdisk radiuses from 10 m to 10.6 m laterally coupled into a bus waveguide are fabricated by standard photolithygraphy and inductively coupled-plasma (ICP) etching techniques. The lasing wavelengths are 1533 nm, 1541 nm, 1551 nm and 1555 nm at the CW injection current of 10 mA for the four microlasers. The proposed multiple-microlaser array would be useful for realizing compact wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) light source for optical interconnects.
