Abstract
We report a novel broadband superluminescent diode using InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum-dots heterostructure. The three sections superluminescent diode consists of index-guided ridge-waveguide section (4 μm wide) butt-connected to a broad-area photon absorber (50 μm wide) to minimize optical feedback and to suppress lasing action. The fabricated device produces low ripple spectrum under continuous wave operation (20°C) with wavelength peak at ∼1210 nm. The spectral bandwidth can be tuned from 71 to 94 nm by electrically addressing the individual section of device.
