    • An array of semiconductor diode lasers (11, 12) is a very suitable radiation source for various applications such as optical read and write systems and laser printers. Such an array includes a semiconductor body (10) with a substrate (1) and a layer structure provided thereon in which at least two lasers (11, 12) are formed which are mutually separated by a groove (20). In the known array, the groove (20) reaches down into the substrate (1), so that the lasers (11, 12) are electrically separated from one another. According to the invention, the array of lasers (11, 12) is provided with a groove (20) with a major portion (d) of its depth (D) which is situated within the substrate (1). As a result of this, the lasers (11, 12) of the array show a surprisingly low crosstalk. Preferably, the portion (d) of the groove (20) situated in the substrate (1) is at least 3 .mu.m deep. The best results are obtained with depths (d) of approximately 10 up to at most 40 .mu.m. In a very favorable embodiment, the device is provided at the upper side with a comparatively thick electrically and thermally conducting layer. In a preferred embodiment, the groove (20) is formed by reactive ion etching so that the groove (20) can be narrow and deep and the lasers (11, 12) will lie close together. A plasma including SiCl.sub.4, Ar and CH.sub.4 forms a particularly suitable etchant for lasers (11, 12) in the InGaP/InAlGaP material system.
    • 一组半导体二极管激光器(11,12)是用于各种应用的非常合适的辐射源,例如光学读取和写入系统和激光打印机。 这种阵列包括具有衬底(1)的半导体本体(10)和设置在其上的层结构,其中形成有由凹槽(20)相互分开的至少两个激光器(11,12)。 在已知的阵列中,槽(20)向下延伸到衬底(1)中,使得激光器(11,12)彼此电分离。 根据本发明,激光器阵列(11,12)设置有其深度(D)的主要部分(d)位于衬底(1)内的凹槽(20)。 作为其结果,阵列的激光器(11,12)显示出惊人的低串扰。 优选地,位于基板(1)中的凹槽(20)的部分(d)至少为3μm深。 获得最好的结果是深度(d)大约10到最多40微米。 在非常有利的实施例中,该装置在上侧设置有较厚的导电和导热层。 在优选实施例中,通过反应离子蚀刻形成凹槽(20),使得凹槽(20)可以窄而深,并且激光器(11,12)将靠近在一起。 包括SiCl 4,Ar和CH 4的等离子体在InGaP / InAlGaP材料系统中形成用于激光器(11,12)的特别合适的蚀刻剂。

    • Semiconductor diode lasers are used inter alia in optical disc systems, laser printers, bar code readers, and glass fibre communication systems. Lasers having a so-called (weakly) index-guided structure are very suitable for many applications inter alia because they can be manufactured comparatively simply and reliably. A disadvantage of the known (weakly) index-guided laser is that the so-called P-I (=optical power-current) characteristic thereof exhibits a kink. Such a kink limits the use of the laser to a relatively low optical power. According to the invention, such a (weakly) index-guided laser has a resonance cavity with a length for which the optical power at which a kink occurs in the P-I characteristic is a maximum. It was a surprise to find that the occurrence of a kink in the P-I curve of such a (weakly) index-guided laser depends on the length of the resonance cavity. Very surprising is the appearance of a maximum value in this kink power as a function of the length of the resonance cavity. Equally surprising is the occurrence of a series of such maxima, which are substantially equally high, and which are formed by the crests of a sawtooth curve with a very steep flank at the rising edge to each maximum. As a result, the laser length may be optimized not only in relation to the occurrence of kinks in the P-I characteristic but also in relation to other properties. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a laser according to the invention, which preferably includes a ridge waveguide structure.
    • 半导体二极管激光器尤其用于光盘系统,激光打印机,条形码读取器和玻璃纤维通信系统中。 具有所谓(弱)折射率引导结构的激光器特别适用于许多应用,因为它们可以相对简单且可靠地制造。 已知(弱)折射率引导激光器的缺点在于其所谓的P-I(=光功率 - 电流)特性表现为扭结。 这样的扭结将激光器的使用限制在相对低的光功率。 根据本发明,这种(弱)折射率引导激光器具有谐振腔,其具有在P-I特性中发生扭结的光功率为最大的长度。 令人吃惊的是,发现在这种(弱)折射率引导激光器的P-I曲线中出现扭结,取决于谐振腔的长度。 非常令人惊讶的是,这个扭结功率的最大值的出现是谐振腔长度的函数。 同样令人惊讶的是,一系列这样的最大值的出现是基本上同样高的,并且它们由在上升沿到每个最大值的具有非常陡峭的侧面的锯齿曲线的波峰形成。 结果,激光长度不仅可以相对于P-I特性中的扭结的发生而且与其它特性有关。 本发明还涉及根据本发明的制造激光器的方法,其优选地包括脊形波导结构。

    • Radiation-emitting semiconductor diodes are used as laser diodes or LEDs inter alia in optical disc systems, laser printers and bar code readers. The emission wavelength in these cases lies preferably in the visible range of the spectrum. Known diodes have an active layer (3A) and cladding layers (2, 4) which comprise either AlGaAs or InAlGaP. These known diodes have the disadvantage that they do not cover a portion of the visible spectrum between 880 and 600 nm.A diode according to the invention is characterized in that the active layer (3A) comprises Al.sub.x Ga.sub.l-x As and the cladding layers (2, 4) comprise Al.sub.y Ga.sub.w In.sub.l-y-w P, while the active layer (3A) has such an aluminjure content (x) and such a thickness (d) that the wavelength of the photoluminescence emission lies between approximately 770 and 690 nm. This results in the availability of (laser) diodes covering the entire spectrum from approximately 880 nm to 600 nm which operate satisfactorily, supply a high power, and are easy to manufacture. Preferably, the active layer comprises a (multiple) quantum well structure of alternating quantum well layers and barrier layers, both comprising AlGaAs, but with different aluminium contents.
    • 辐射发射半导体二极管用作激光二极管或LED,特别是在光盘系统,激光打印机和条形码读取器中。 这些情况下的发射波长优选在光谱的可见范围内。 已知的二极管具有包括AlGaAs或InAlGaP的有源层(3A)和覆层(2,4)。 这些已知的二极管的缺点是它们不覆盖880和600nm之间的可见光谱的一部分。 根据本发明的二极管的特征在于,有源层(3A)包括Al x Ga 1-x As,并且包覆层(2,4)包含AlyGawInl-y-wP,而活性层(3A)具有这样的铝含量(x )和这样的厚度(d),使得光致发光发射的波长在约770和690nm之间。 这导致覆盖从约880nm到600nm的整个光谱的(激光)二极管的可用性,其工作令人满意,提供高功率,并且易于制造。 优选地,有源层包括交替量子阱层和阻挡层(包括AlGaAs,但具有不同的铝含量)的(多个)量子阱结构。

    • Radiation-emitting semiconductor diodes are used inter alia in information processing systems as diode lasers or LEDs. Such a radiation-emitting semiconductor diode including an active layer situated between two cladding layers, which layers each include a mixed crystal of III-V semiconductor materials, atoms of different elements, often having a certain degree of ordering, being present on at least one sublattice. An example is an InGaP/InAlGaP diode laser which emits at 670 nm and is highly suitable for various applications. There is a particular demand for diodes which have a high maximum operating temperature at a given wavelength. According to the invention, the composition of the semiconductor material of the active layer is so chosen that this layer has a compression strain, while the atoms of the different elements have a less orderly distribution at least in the semiconductor material of the active layer. This strongly reduces the starting current, while the emission wavelength remains substantially unchanged. In a preferred embodiment, the distribution in the semiconductor materials of the cladding layers is also less orderly, which improves the confinement and thus the temperature dependence characteristics of the starting current. The maximum operating temperature of diode lasers according to the invention is considerably increased owing to a low starting current and a low temperature dependence of this starting current.
    • 辐射发射半导体二极管尤其用作信息处理系统中的二极管激光器或LED。 这种辐射发射半导体二极管包括位于两个包层之间的有源层,该层各自包含III-V族半导体材料的混合晶体,通常具有一定程度的排序的不同元素的原子存在于至少一个 子格子 例如,InGaP / InAlGaP二极管激光器在670nm处发射并且非常适用于各种应用。 特别要求在给定波长下具有高的最高工作温度的二极管。 根据本发明,有源层的半导体材料的组成被选择为使得该层具有压缩应变,而不同元素的原子至少在有源层的半导体材料中具有较少的有序分布。 这大大降低了启动电流,而发射波长基本保持不变。 在优选实施例中,包覆层的半导体材料中的分布也不太有序,这改善了起始电流的约束和温度依赖特性。 由于起动电流低以及起动电流的低温依赖性,本发明的二极管激光器的最大工作温度显着增加。
