Low-Frequency Noise Characteristics of (Al, Ga)As and Ga(As, Bi) Quantum Well Structures for NIR Laser Diodes.

Fabry-Perot laser diodes based on (Al, Ga)As and Ga(As, Bi) with single or multiple parabolic or rectangular-shaped quantum wells (QWs) emitting at the 780-1100 nm spectral range were fabricated and investigated for optimization of the laser QW design and composition of QWs. The laser structures were grown using the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique on the -type GaAs(100) substrate. The photolithography process was performed to fabricate edge-emitting laser bars of 5 μm by 500 μm in size.

Review of Low-Frequency Noise Properties of High-Power White LEDs during Long-Term Aging.

Low-frequency noise investigation is a highly sensitive and very informative method for characterization of white nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as well as for the evaluation of their degradation. We present a review of quality and reliability investigations of high-power (1 W and 3 W) white light-emitting diodes during long-term aging at the maximum permissible forward current at room temperature. The research was centered on the investigation of blue InGaN and AlInGaN quantum wells (QWs) LEDs covered by a YAG:Ce phosphor layer for white light emission.

Low-Frequency Noise Investigation of 1.09 μm GaAsBi Laser Diodes.

GaAsBi is a suitable and very attractive material system to be used as an active layer in laser diodes (LDs). To understand the performance and the reliability of such devices and also for further laser diode improvements, the origin of noise sources should be clarified. A detailed study of near-infrared 1.
