  • Abstract
    Superluminescent diodes are used in numerous sensing and testing applications. To achieve the wide emission spectrum and high power required from such devices, we studied an innovative design constituting in several different bandgap energy sections independently electrically pumped. Bandgap modification was obtained by the UV laser quantum well intermixing process.
