Design Considerations for Asymmetric Multiple Quantum Well Broad Spectral Width Superluminescent Diodes
Abstract
We investigated the design of broad spectral width super luminescent diodes (SLDs) with asymmetric multiple-quantum-well (AMQW) active regions. The design is based on theoretical modeling, which starts with calculation of the gain. Two InGaAsP/InP AMQW SLD structures centered at 1.3 ${}\mu$m were grown and processed. Both gave a broad spectral width of >80 nm when operated at the transition carrier density (TCD). Structure 1 was designed based …
