The application provides a buried
heterojunction antimonide laser and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of lasers. The problems of a relatively high
threshold current, a limited transverse restriction of current and
light field, and a single heat dissipation path of a conventional
ridge waveguide structure are solved. The
laser comprises, from bottom to top, N-face
metal, a GaSb substrate, a buffer layer, a lower restriction layer, a lower
waveguide layer, a
quantum well region, an upper
waveguide layer, an upper restriction layer, a cover layer and P-face
metal. A
ridge is arranged between the P-face
metal and the restriction layer, and buried
layers are arranged on both sides of the
ridge. In the application, the active region is completely wrapped from the side by using a wide-bandgap, low-refractive-index, lattice-matched
semiconductor material through secondary
epitaxy, the physical properties of the material itself are used to achieve better three-dimensional restriction of current and
light field, and thus
lower threshold current, higher output power, better mode stability and longer device life are obtained.
