Abstract

A three-stage cascade GaSb-based diode laser heterostructure with an enhanced optical gain spectral bandwidth was designed and fabricated. The gain broadening was achieved by varying the thickness of the type-I quantum wells in different stages of the cascade active region from 10 to 14nm. The structures were processed into bent ridge gain chips with virtually eliminated feedback from the anti-reflection-coated angled facet. The external cavity devices based on a novel gain chip design demonstrated a record wide tuning range from 2.79 to 3.23μm in a Littrow cavity configuration at 20°C.
