Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an 808nm semiconductor laser device with an oxidation restriction structure and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of optoelectronics. Background Art
[0002] GaAs-based 808nm high-power laser diodes (LDs) are widely used in the industrial light sources and material processing fields of fiber lasers and solid-state lasers due to their high power, high efficiency and long life. They are also widely used in radar communications, laser storage and laser medical beauty, and have attracted great attention from researchers at home and abroad. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) is one of the most important indicators of semiconductor lasers. Semiconductor lasers with high conversion efficiency generate less waste heat and have high energy utilization, which can greatly extend the working life of the device and improve reliability. In order to achieve high power and high efficiency in LDs, epitaxial structures with low optical loss, low series resistance and low thermal resistance are required. Previous studies have shown that at the same concentration, the optical loss caused by free holes in laser diodes is about three times that of free electrons. In addition, the hole mobility is about one order of magnitude lower than that of electrons. Therefore, in the traditional asymmetric large optical cavity epitaxial design, the p-type epitaxial layer causes 46% of the optical loss and 91% of the series resistance.
[0003] The document Semiconductor Science and Technology, Vol 29, 2014, Pg: 045010M1-M6 points out that the use of extreme dual asymmetric (EDAS) epitaxial design can reduce the p-side waveguide thickness and light field distribution, thereby reducing light loss, series resistance, voltage-driven leakage current, and improving the power saturation effect. However, the thinner the p-waveguide, the lower the fundamental mode confinement factor Γ0, which increases the LD threshold current. In an extremely thin p-waveguide structure, the high-order mode confinement factor will be greater than the fundamental mode confinement factor, so that the high-order mode is preferentially lased. In order to achieve a thin p-side epitaxial structure, the document The International Society for Optical Engineering, Vol 3628, 1999, Pg: 38-45 believes that the thinning of the p-confinement layer has little effect on the confinement factor of the main mode, and proposes to reduce the thickness of the p-confinement layer in the EDAS design, which not only reduces the series resistance and light loss of the LD, but also reduces the thermal resistance, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation of the LD. However, excessive thinning of the p-confinement layer can cause the fundamental mode field to leak into the highly doped contact layer, resulting in additional losses. The literature Optics and Laser Technology, Vol 172, 2024, Pg: 110546M1-M9 points out that in AlxGa1-xAs materials, the refractive index decreases with the increase of Al content, and adding a high Al (x>0.8) layer can compensate for the poor confinement of the confinement layer on the light field.
[0004] Nowadays, the demand for 808nm LD lasers in the fields of science and technology, production, etc. is increasing, which not only has indicators for power and efficiency, but also puts forward new requirements for simplifying manufacturing and reducing material and time costs. For this reason, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an 808nm semiconductor laser device with an oxidation confinement structure, which adopts an extreme double asymmetric structure design of a thin P confinement layer, and adds a high Al component layer between the P confinement layer and the cap layer to compensate for the fundamental mode field leakage that may be caused by the extremely thin confinement layer, thereby compressing the light field, reducing losses, and improving output power and conversion efficiency.
[0006] The high Al component layer has the characteristic of being easily oxidized and can be oxidized into insulating oxide to achieve lateral current limitation. There is no need for secondary growth of current blocking layer materials such as SiO2. In addition, only one step of photolithography is required, and the oxidation process mainly uses water vapor and nitrogen, which reduces the production cost of LD to a certain extent.
