- PublicationAccès libreLattice-Matched GaN–InAlN Waveguides at λ = 1.55 μm Grown by Metal–Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy(2008)
;Lupu, A. ;Julien, François H. ;Golka, Sebastian ;Pozzovivo, G. ;Strasser, Gottfried ;Baumann, Esther ;Giorgetta, Fabrizio R.; ;Nicolay, S. ;Mosca, M. ;Feltin, E. ;Carlin, J.-F.Grandjean, N.We report on the demonstration of low-loss, single-mode GaN-InAlN ridge waveguides (WGs) at fiber-optics telecommunication wavelengths. The structure grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy contains AlInN cladding layers lattice-matched to GaN. For slab-like WGs propagation losses are below 3 dB/mm and independent of light polarization. For 2.6-μm-wide WGs the propagation losses in the 1.5- to 1.58-μm spectral region are as low as 1.8 and 4.9 dB/mm for transverse-electric- and transverse-magnetic-polarization, respectively. The losses are attributed to the sidewall roughness and can be further reduced by the optimization of the etching process.
