The difficulty that manufacture has the high power GaN base laser of wide cavity design is such phenomenon: the optical field distribution in a lateral direction of cavity becomes asymmetric in the place with local bright areas and local dark region.This behavior is called silkization conventionally, and can be caused by the cross directional variations in refractive index or heat distribution, and this variation can change mode boot characteristic.This behavior can be also the result of the inhomogeneities in local gain/loss, its by carrier the inhomogeneous injection in active region or electric current assemble and cause, at electric current habitat, preferably, electric current is by the perimeter conducting of laser cavity.That is to say, the electric current injecting by p lateral electrode trends towards the edge of the etched p coating spine/band required towards transversal waveguides, then, and in the place of hole and near main electron recombination band side, downwards conduction.No matter be what reason, this silkization or asymmetrical beam field distribution meeting cause laser activity variation, because strip width is increased.
Fig. 3 shows according to the reduced graph of the laser aid with multiple reflectors of an execution mode of the present utility model.As shown in Figure 3, laser aid comprises substrate and multiple reflector.Lower floor active region and other electronic component of each cavity part in substrate is combined, and is a part for laser diode.Laser aid in Fig. 3 comprises three laser diodes, and each have its reflector or cavity part (for example, cavity part 302 is as the waveguide of laser diode), and shared substrate 301, and it comprises one or more active regions.In various execution modes, active region comprises quantum well or double-heterostructure, launches for light.Cavity part is as waveguide.The device with multiple cavity parts is integrated on a substrate.
Substrate shown in Fig. 3 comprises gallium and nitrogen material, and it is made up of nonpolar or semi-polar body GaN substrate.Cavity part is arranged parallel to each other as shown.For example, cavity part 301 comprises front mirror and rear mirror, similar to the cavity part 101 shown in Fig. 1.Each laser cavity is characterized by the housing width w of scope from approximately 1 to approximately 6 μ m.Cavity part this is arranged in when guaranteeing equably pumping cavity part, increases effective strip width.In one embodiment, cavity part is characterized by the length substantially equating and width.
Depend on application scenario, device of high power laser can have many cavity parts.The scope of the numbering n of cavity part can from 2 to 5,10 or even 20.Make lateral separation that a cavity part separates with another cavity part or the scope of distance from 2 μ m to 25 μ m, depend on the requirement of laser diode.In various execution modes, the scope of the length of cavity part can be from 300 μ m to 2000 μ m, in some cases, and up to 3000 μ m.
In a preferred implementation, generating laser (for example, cavity part as shown) is arranged as to linear array on one single chip, to launch blueness or green laser.Make reflector substantially parallel each other, and, can make it separate 3 μ m to 15 μ m, separate 15 μ m to 75 μ m, separate 75 μ m to 150 μ m, or separate 150 μ m to 300 μ m.The numbering of the reflector in this array can be changed to 15 from 3, or is changed to 30 from 15, is changed to 50 from 30, or is changed to 100 from 50, or is greater than 100.Each reflector can produce 25 to 50mW, and 50 to 100mW, and 100 to 250mW, and 250 to 500mW, and 500 to 1000mW, or is greater than the average output power of 1W.Therefore, the scope with the gross output of the laser aid of multiple reflectors can be from 200 to 500mW, and 500 to 1000mW, 1-2W, and 2-5W, 5-10W, 10-20W, and be greater than 20W.

Fig. 4 shows the reduced graph of the front view of the laser aid with multiple cavity parts.As shown in Figure 4, can see active region 307 is positioned in substrate 301.As shown, cavity part 302 comprises path 306.Channel setting, on cavity part, and is for example opened in silicon dioxide at dielectric layer 303.Can regard the top of aisled tool cavity part as laser spine, it exposes electrode 304, for electric contact.Electrode 304 comprises p-type electrode.In a specific implementations, by public p-type electrode deposition on cavity part and dielectric layer 303, as shown in Figure 4.
Make cavity part by electrode 304 electric coupling each other.Laser diode, each have by the electric contact of its cavity part, shares public n lateral electrode.Depend on application scenario, can make the cavity part electric coupling of n lateral electrode and different structure.In a preferred implementation, make public n lateral electrode and the bottom side electric coupling of substrate.In some embodiments, n contact on the top of substrate, and, by etching into dearly substrate from top, then make hard contact deposition downwards, form connection.For example, make laser diode electric coupling each other in parallel construction.In this structure, in the time that electrode is applied to electric current, all laser cavities of relatively equally pumping.In addition,, because spine's width will be relatively narrow, in the scope of 1.0 to 5.0 μ m, for example, so cavity Jian center will approach the edge of spine's (path) very much, make to assemble or non-homogeneous injection reducing electric current.Most important ground, can prevent silkization, and lateral light field distribution can be symmetrical in this narrow cavity, as shown in Figure 2 A.
To understand, the laser aid with multiple cavity parts has effective spine width of n x w, and it can approach the width of traditional superpower laser simply, and this laser has the width of 10 to 50 μ m scopes.The scope of the typical length of this multi-ribbon laser can be from 400 μ m to 2000 μ m, still, and can be up to 3000 μ m.Figure 1 illustrates the schematic diagram of the conventional narrow ridge reflector of wall scroll band, the low power applications that it is intended to for 5 to 500mW, has the distribution of the lateral symmetry field producing in Fig. 2.Figure 2 illustrates the schematic diagram of multi-ribbon reflector, as an example, this execution mode is intended to the operand power for 0.5 to 10W.
