Abstract

The effect of the quantum-well nitride content on the differential gain and linewidth enhancement factor of dilute-nitride GaAs-based near 1.3-/spl mu/m lasers was studied. Gain-guided and ridge waveguide lasers with 0%, 0.5%, and 0.8% nitrogen content InGaAsN quantum wells were characterized. Experiment shows that the linewidth enhancement factor is independent on the nitride content, and is in the range 1.7-2.5 for /spl lambda/=1.22 - 1.34 /spl mu/m dilute-nitride GaAs-based lasers. Differential gain and index with respect to either current or carrier concentration are reduced in dilute-nitride devices.
