CST publishes findings of CoolBlue project
Single wavelength, blue laser diode offers increased power, lower complexity and smaller size
Thomas Slight, Research Engineer at CST Global,
has successfully published his research paper covering next-generation, GaN,
DFB laser diodes in the Applied Physics Express (APEX) letters journal. APEX
reports on new findings in applied physics and is affiliated with the Institute
of Physics (IoP).
Slight’s paper, ‘Continuous-wave operation of
(Al,In)GaN distributed-feedback laser diodes with high-order notched gratings’,
summarises the findings of the government-funded, “Quantum Cooling using Mode
Controlled Blue Lasers” project, known as CoolBlue.
The paper reports on the continuous-wave,
room-temperature operation of distributed feedback laser diodes (DFB-LD) with
high-order notched gratings. It covers the design, fabrication and
characterisation of the DFB devices, which are based on the (Al,In)GaN material
system.
Slight explains: “The single wavelength, blue
laser diode source, developed in the project, offered increased power, lower
complexity and smaller size over conventional laser sources. The paper shows it
is possible to transform quantum sensors from laboratory instruments into
miniaturised, robust systems, for a far wider range of commercial applications.
In practice, these are associated with ultra-cold, atom-based, quantum sensing
systems, such as atomic clocks.”
The 13th CS International conference builds on the strengths of its predecessors, with around 40 leaders from industry and academia delivering presentations that fall within five key themes: Ultrafast Communication; Making Headway with the MicroLED; Taking the Power from Silicon, New Vectors for the VCSEL, and Ultra-wide Bandgap Devices.
Delegates attending these sessions will gain insight into device technology, find out about the current status and the roadmap for the compound semiconductor industry, and discover the latest advances in tools and processes that will drive up fab yields and throughputs.
