Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a strain-compensated quantum well structure GaAs high-power laser epitaxial wafer and its fabrication method, belonging to the field of optoelectronic technology. Background Technology
[0002] High-power semiconductor lasers have seen increasingly widespread application in recent years in fields such as industrial processing, laser communication, medical aesthetics, automotive radar, and military applications due to their advantages of simple fabrication, small size, and high power. During this period, research on semiconductor lasers has primarily focused on improving output power levels. The simplest and most effective way to increase output power is to increase the effective gain area of the light, leading to the widespread use of wide waveguide structures based on this theory. While wide waveguide structures can improve power, at higher operating currents, the laser generates higher-order lateral modes and virtual waists, resulting in increased divergence angles and beam jitter. Furthermore, with increasing current injection, the device may experience localized overheating, severely impacting long-term reliability.

[0044] In this patent, Si2H6 is selected for doping on the N side and CBr4 is selected for doping on the P side. The role of doping on the N side is to provide electrons, and the potential difference created by the change in the doping gradient is conducive to the migration of electrons into the quantum well. The role of doping on the P side is to provide holes, and the potential difference created by the change in the doping gradient is conducive to the migration of holes into the quantum well, ultimately realizing the recombination of holes and electrons in the quantum well.
[0045] Where this invention is not detailed, existing technologies may be used.
[0046] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0047] The core technology of this invention is to add a quantum well much larger than the bandgap before and after the epitaxial quantum well. For example, in this invention, a GaAsP quantum well is grown before and after the InGaAs quantum well. The InGaAs quantum well emits light at a wavelength of 915 nm with a compressive strain of 1.5%, while the GaAsP quantum well emits light at a wavelength of 830 nm with a tensile strain of 0.75%. A GaAs layer is used as a transition between the GaAsP and InGaAs quantum wells. There is a significant mismatch between the InGaAs material and the gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate. To improve the internal quantum efficiency of the quantum well and eliminate degeneracy effects, high-power quantum wells typically use increased strain, which further increases the risk of mismatch. The method of growing a GaAsP quantum well before and after the InGaAs quantum well used in this invention has the following advantages:
[0048] 1. InGaAs quantum wells exhibit compressive strain, while GaAsP quantum wells exhibit tensile strain. This can be used to compensate for quantum well strain. Common methods for quantum well strain compensation, such as changing the waveguide layer composition or using compositional gradients, not only disrupt the original optical field distribution and sacrifice quantum well gain, but also lead to unclear growth interfaces, increasing internal resistance and internal loss. The proposed solution utilizes the advantages of thin quantum well structures and large strain improvement, achieving strain compensation within 10 nm. Furthermore, it leverages the refractive index difference to further concentrate the optical field within the InGaAs quantum well, thereby improving the quantum well's optical gain.
[0049] 2. GaAsP quantum wells control the emission wavelength to 830nm by adjusting the P composition. Since the emission wavelength of InGaAs quantum wells is 915nm, the emission peak half-width is 10nm, and the 95% energy width is about 30nm, the 830nm light emitted by GaAsP quantum wells will not affect the emission of InGaAs quantum wells. The lasing of GaAsP quantum wells is determined by the GaAsP strain.
[0050] 3. Due to its wider bandgap than InGaAs quantum wells, GaAsP quantum wells can store electrons and holes, causing the built-in electric field at the InGaAs quantum well interface to reverse, creating a saturable absorber effect. This absorbs higher-order modes and low-energy light, enabling InGaAs quantum wells to operate at high power. Furthermore, the storage of electrons and holes further increases the height of the original barrier layer, achieving greater confinement of charge carriers. The interaction of like charges also promotes carrier migration speed, improving the chip's temperature characteristics and reliability. This completely overcomes the problems of poor divergence angle and beam quality in wide waveguide structures at high power. Attached Figure Description
