Abstract

1-port and 2-port multi-mode interference reflectors (MMIR) are excellent components for Photonic Integrated Circuits, being highly reflective and easy to fabricate. We demonstrate InAs-Quantum-Dot MMIR lasers, where the high reflectivity is particularly advantageous, with lower threshold current than Fabry-Perot ridge lasers with the same cavity length e.g. 6mA compared to 46-mA. The threshold current density of the 1-mm MMIR laser is equivalent to the Fabry-Perot laser with a 3-mm cavity length. MMIRs have a higher optical slope efficiency, indicating mirror reflectivity above 85%.
