Optical, Electronic and Optoelectronic Material and Device Research

Abstract

During the contract period of 1990-1993 we have continued our research effort on semiconductor lasers (SCLs) by investigating the fundamental limits of SCLs, which are often the limiting factors in applications. Our research concentrated on reducing the threshold current, increasing the wavelength tunability, reducing the linewidth, increasing the modulation bandwidth, reducing the chirp under modulation, and generation of ultra short light pulses.
