Directly modulated lasers on InP membrane platform:design and simulation

Directly modulated laser (DML) design for InP membrane platform is proposed. In this platform, a stack containing contact layers and quantum wells is epitaxially grown on InP wafer, which is then adhesively bonded to Si substrate using BCB (benzo-cyclobutene). DML proposed makes use of weak tunable...

Description
Summary:Directly modulated laser (DML) design for InP membrane platform is proposed. In this platform, a stack containing contact layers and quantum wells is epitaxially grown on InP wafer, which is then adhesively bonded to Si substrate using BCB (benzo-cyclobutene). DML proposed makes use of weak tunable distributed Bragg grating to extend the modulation bandwidth by detuned loading and photon-photon resonance. Photonic crystal reflector is used to maximize Q-factor of the cavity. Up to 80 GHz 3dB bandwidth is obtained in simulation.
