Modal refractive index of 1.3 lµm InGaAsP, AlGaInAs and GaInNAs semiconductor lasers under high hydrostatic pressure
The accurate experimental determination of the modal refractive index of 1.3 µm InGaAsP, AlGaInAs and GaInNAs multiple quantum-well lasers by measuring the longitudinal mode separation up to a pressure of 15 kbar is reported for the first time. A small increase of the indices is observed for the three materials with increasing pressure, which causes a decrease of lasing wavelength.
