Abstract
1461869 Semi-conductor lasers HITACHI Ltd 26 Sept 1974 [5 Oct 1973] 41947/74 Headings H1C and H1K [Also in Division C4] The functional equivalent of a resonator of a semi-conductor laser is produced by distributed feedback from a periodically corrugated optical confinement boundary 4 extending parallel to the laser active layer 2. In Fig. 1, the laser comprises an N-type GaAs layer 1, a P-type GaAs active layer 2, a P-type Ga 0.9 Al 0.1 As layer 3 having a periodically corrugated surface 4, and a P-type Ga 0.6 Al 0.4 As layer 5, the refractive index of layer 5 being less than that of layer 3. Electrodes 6, 7 formed of chromium and gold, and gold containing germanium and nickel, respectively, are provided on the outermost layers. To produce laser radiation of 8750 wavelength the corrugation period should be 0À123 Ám and the corrugation depth 500 . In a modification requiring a lower threshold current for laser oscillation a further layer 8, Fig. 2, of N-type Ga 0À7 Al 0À3 As, or two additional layers 8 and 10, Fig. 3, of N-type Ga 0À6 Al 0À4 As and P-type Ga 0À9 Al 0À1 As, respectively, are provided between the layers 1 and 2. In a modification of Fig. 3 the boundary 11, Fig. 4, between the layers 8 and 10 is also periodically corrugated. The layered assembly is produced by liquid phase epitaxial growth, the manufacturing step involving the periodic corrugations involving coating layer 3 or 8 with photoresist which is then exposed to ultra-violet light to form interference fringes. After development of the photoresist the layer surface is milled into corrugations by ion etching. For layers 3 and 8 the composition may be changed to the extent of Ga 0À8 Al 0À2 As. Alternative lasing materials are Suitable P-type dopants are stated to be silicon, tellurium and zinc.
