Abstract

Semiconductor lasers emitting in the mid-infrared wavelength region are of particular importance since the strong absorption bands of several technologically and industrially relevant gas species are located in this range, such as CO, CH₄, NH₃ and HF. These lasers are generally required a low throshold current with good single mode operation for simple and accurate gas detection. GaSb-based semiconductor material is an ideal system for realizing this mid-infrared laser due to its narrow bandgap. In this paper, we present a new design of high performance single mode GaSb DBR laser based on high order slotted surface grating for gas detection. The 2D scattering matrix method combing with the time-domain travelling-wave model has been used for the optimization of slotted surface grating to enlarge the reflection and reduce the loss. The designed 2.3μm single mode GaSb surface-grating DBR laser has been predicted with a low threshold-current of about 8 mA and a slope efficiency of about 0.14 mW/mA. The laser scheme is of a single wafer growth, can be easily fabricated, and thus has great potential to realize cost effective with high reliability.
