Abstract

The invention relates to a tunnel cascaded multi-active region epitaxial structure. The tunnel cascaded multi-active region epitaxial structure includes a substrate and a plurality of heterostructure active regions which are limited respectively; the plurality of active regions are formed on the substrate sequentially; and the plurality of active regions are connected with each other through reversely-biased PN junctions. The invention also provides a semiconductor laser adopting the epitaxial structure. According to the laser, a buffer layer and an electrode contact layer are sequentially grown on the uppermost active region; and follow-up laser fabrication is completed through using a standard wide-surfaced strip-shaped laser fabrication process. The number of active regions in the epitaxial structure can be adjusted between 2 to 4 according to needs. With the tunnel cascaded multi-active region epitaxial structure and the laser adopting the same adopted, output power and slope efficiency can be improved, and a vertical divergence angle can be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-power semiconductor lasers, in particular to a multi-active region epitaxial structure, a semiconductor laser using the same and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, semiconductor lasers have been widely used in military, industrial processing, precision measurement, laser medical treatment, optical Communication, optical storage and laser printing have been widely and far-reaching applications. Due to its high output power, high-power semiconductor lasers have developed rapidly in industrial fields such as metal cutting, laser cladding, and deep penetration welding, as well as aerospace, national defense and military applications. [0003] The main factor limiting the further improvement of the output power of near-infrared high-power semiconductor lasers is the optical catastrophic damage of the cavity surface. Therefore, optimizing the epitaxial structur...
