A simple method for fabricating gain coupled DFB lasers with lateral surface chromium Bragg gratings and self-aligned low capacitance ohmic contacts is reported. These InGaAsP/InP lasers show monomode emission with a sidemode suppression ratio of 40 dB. For 243 µm long devices a continuous wave threshold current of 17 mA was measured at room temperature.
A new method for fabrication of tunable InGaAsP-InP single-mode lasers without epitaxial overgrowth is reported. These devices show the advantage of a considerably simplified fabrication process compared to conventional tunable laser types. The lasers comprise an active Bragg reflector integrated with an uncorrugated separately pumped gain region. By adjusting the current through the Bragg reflector, the wavelength can be tuned between 1590.8 and 1595.2 nm.
