Abstract :
A low-threshold and high-efficiency distributed reflector laser consisting of active distributed feedback and quantum-wire distributed Bragg reflector sections has been demonstrated. A threshold current Ith as low as 2.5 mA ( jth=190 A/cm2), an external differential quantum efficiency from the front facet of 36%, and a submode suppression ratio of 54 dB at a bias current of twice the threshold current were obtained for an active section length of 300 μm with a stripe width of 4.4 μm.
