Background
The 5G mobile network has the characteristics of high peak rate, dense ports and low time delay, and brings huge revolution to the Internet and the Internet of things. The 5G mobile network requires the optical module as signal transmission to have a higher modulation rate and a wider operating temperature range. The DFB laser establishes a Bragg grating in a semiconductor, realizes selection of a single longitudinal mode by means of light distribution feedback, has high speed, narrow line width and dynamic single longitudinal mode working characteristics, can inhibit mode hopping of a common FP laser in a wider working temperature and working current range, greatly improves the noise characteristic of a device, and has wide application in the field of optical communication, particularly 5G mobile communication.

Conventionally, a P-grating structure is adopted, that is, N-type InP is adopted as a growth substrate, and quantum wells of AlGaInAs or InGaAsP are adopted as active layers. In the traditional DFB epitaxial structure, the grating is in a P-type layer, which can cause the increase of parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance and influence the modulation speed of DFB laser, and the P-grating works in a narrow temperature range due to the limitation of a lasing threshold and the parasitic resistance.

And then, growing the grating in the N-type semiconductor material, which means that the active region needs to grow after the grating is manufactured, and the distance between the active region of the quantum well and the grating is less than 100nm, so that the grating needs to be buried and a smooth quantum well interface needs to be obtained in the small thickness, and the difficulty is very high.
