Abstract

InAs quantum dot ridge waveguide lasers comprising single-port multi-mode-interference-reflectors (MMIR) and single-cleaved reflectors are designed, fabricated, and characterised, to demonstrate capability for optoelectronic-integrated-circuits. Simulations of an MMIR show high values of fundamental mode reflectivity ($ > 80\% )$ and good selectivity against higher order modes. Deep-etched MMIR lasers fabricated with 0.5 mm long cavities have a threshold current of 24 mA, compared to 75 mA for standard Fabry–Perot cleaved–cleaved FP-RWG lasers of the same length, both at 25 °C, and 56 mA compared to 102 mA at 55 °C. MMIR lasers exhibit stable ground state operation up to 50 °C and show promise as small footprint sources for integrated photonics.
