ABSTRACT:
A multiple-wavelength GaInAsP/InP microlaser with
microdisk radiuses from 10 m to 10.6 m laterally coupled into a bus waveguide are
fabricated by standard photolithygraphy and inductively coupled-plasma (ICP)
etching techniques. The lasing wavelengths are 1533 nm, 1541 nm, 1551 nm and
1555 nm at the CW injection current of 10 mA for the four microlasers. The
proposed multiple-microlaser array would be useful for realizing compact
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) light source for optical interconnects.
