Fabrication Of Deep Bragg Gratings For DFB Lasers And Waveguide Filters By Wet And Dry Etching Processes In InGaAsP

Abstract
Mask generation, etching process and cha-racterization of first-order deep Bragg grating corrugations on InP and InGaAsP compound material is presented. DFB lasers with a side-mode suppression of more than 30 dB were obtained. In addition nine different monolithic grating filters on rib waveguides proved to be valuable for narrow-band wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications.© (1989) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
