Improved power and temperature performance of half-disk diode microlasers.

The power and temperature characteristics of Ø200 µm half-disk microlasers with a half-ring metal contact and high-density InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots are studied. In a continuous wave (CW) mode, the maximal optical power at 20°C was 134 mW, and the maximal CW lasing temperature reached 113°C. In a pulsed regime the maximal optical power of 1.

Improved performance of InGaAs/GaAs microdisk lasers epi-side down bonded onto a silicon board.

We study the impact of improved heat removal on the performance of InGaAs/GaAs microdisk lasers epi-side down bonded onto a silicon substrate. Unlike the initial characteristics of microlasers on a GaAs substrate, the former's bonding results in a decrease in thermal resistance by a factor of 2.3 (1.

High speed data transmission using directly modulated microdisk lasers based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots.

We report on direct large signal modulation and the reliability studies of microdisk lasers based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots. A 23 μm in diameter microlaser exhibits an open eye diagram up to 12.5 Gbit/s and is capable of error-free 10 Gbit/s data transmission at 30°C without temperature stabilization.
