Abstract
The authors report the demonstration of the bandgap-tuned InAs quantum dash broadband laser with widened laser emission linewidth at room temperature using postgrowth intermixing technique. The 100 nm wavelength blueshifted, as-cleaved laser exhibits ultrabroad lasing spectral coverage of ∼85 nm at a center wavelength of 1.54 μm with a total emission power of ∼1 W per device. Compared to the as-grown laser, this laser shows broader lasing bandwidth (∼41 nm) with improved spectral ripple (<1 dB).
