We report low-threshold-current, high-yield InAs/InP quantum dot lasers in the C- and L-bands grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). By optimizing the epitaxial growth conditions, including the introduction of a GaAs interfacial layer, we achieved more in-plane symmetric quantum dots with improved optical quality. Deep-etched ridge waveguide lasers with a 4 μm ridge width and top-top metal contacts were fabricated and characterized under pulsed injection. Low threshold currents of 17 mA and 28 mA were obtained for cavity lengths of 300 μm and 1000 μm, respectively. Temperature-dependent measurements showed lasing sustained up to 120 °C with a characteristic temperature T of 74.9 K below 90 °C.

This study evaluates and compares four millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio-over-fiber (RoF) frequency multiplexing techniques considering InAs/InP quantum dash (QD) mode-locked lasers (MLLs) for optical carriers. The QD-MLL can generate multiple coherent optical carriers simultaneously with consistent frequency differences. Following heterodyne detection, the radio frequency linewidths of the QD-MLL can be minimized to 2.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFInAs/InP quantum dot (QD) lasers are promising light sources for optical communication due to their discrete energy states, offering advantages such as low threshold current density and enhanced thermal stability. However, challenges remain in achieving uniform QDs on the InAs/InAlGaAs/InP material system to ensure low threshold current density and high-temperature operation. This work demonstrates low threshold, high-temperature L-band InAs/InAlGaAs/InP QD lasers grown on InP (001) substrates with the indium-flush technique to optimize QD uniformity.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising solid-state single-photon emitters for quantum information processing due to their facile integration with nanophotonic components and cost-effective production. However, research on near-infrared QDs-based single-photon emitters for telecommunications remains limited. Here, we present bright near-infrared InAs/InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs that achieve high-purity single-photon emission through strong exciton confinement within the core.

The RIN of an InAs/InP(113)B quantum-dot laser for direct- and cascade-relaxation models is investigated under the gain-switching condition via the application of an optical Gaussian pulse to an excited state. A new method is proposed to obtain RIN curves by eliminating the cross-correlation between noise sources. In this way, the noise sources are described independently and simulated with independent white Gaussian random variables.
