Abstract
We demonstrate the generation of 92 nm (−3 dB bandwidth) flat-topped ultrabroad stimulation emission from a chirped InAs/InP quantum dot (QD) laser. A greatly enhanced bandwidth of the gain spectrum is achieved, which is attributed to the additionally broadened quantum dot energy levels utilizing gradually changed height of QDs in the stacked active layers. The laser exhibits a maximum output power of 0.35 W under pulsed conditions, and the average spectral power density of above 3.8 mW/nm is obtained. The ultrabroad lasing spectrum in the wavelength interval of 1.49–1.61 μm covering S-C-L bands makes such a laser potentially useful as an optical source for various applications being compatible with silica fibers.
