Abstract :
A new experimental method for the accurate determination of optical absorption in distributed Bragg reflectors is demonstrated. It is based on the linewidth of the optical transmission through a symmetric resonator fabricated by wafer fusion of two samples of the same mirror. The optical absorption of a Zn-doped GaAs/Al65Ga 35As Bragg mirror is found to be 48±3cm-1 at 1539 nm
