Abstract

The invention discloses a single-chip integrated tunnel junction laser for a microwave oscillation source, and relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices. The single-chip integrated tunnel junction laser for the microwave oscillation source mainly comprises an N electrode, an N-type InP substrate, an N-type InP buffer layer, a lower limiting layer, a quantum well activeregion, an upper limiting layer, a grating layer, an N-type InP layer, a tunnel junction, a P-type InP cover layer, a P-type contact layer and a P electrode. By means of the differential negative resistance characteristic of a tunnel junction during forward deviation, oscillation modulation is carried out in the device, so that the laser can directly transmit the light-borne microwaves. The phasenoise is reduced, the power loss is minimized, the structure of the device is simplified, and meanwhile high-speed modulation is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in particular to a monolithic integrated tunnel junction laser used for a microwave oscillation source. Background technique [0002] Microwave signals are widely used in electronic measurement, clock extraction, civil communication, electronic countermeasures, radar, etc. In traditional microwave signal generation methods, dielectric oscillators are unsatisfactory in terms of high-purity spectrum, low phase noise, and tunability. Optoelectronic oscillators (OEO) use optoelectronic feedback loop technology to obtain highly stable and low-noise microwave signals, and have become a new type of high-quality microwave signal source. [0003] OEO can generate radio frequency (Radio Frequency, RF) signals in the optical domain, and has some advantages over traditional electric oscillators, such as the signal can be propagated in the optical fiber, and signal processing can...
