Abstract

In this paper, we designed a Slab Coupled Optical Waveguide (SCOW) DFB semiconductor laser around 1550 nm with increased output optical power and single mode operation. Under the assumption of idea heat dissipation, we simulate the performances of the designed DFB laser using PICs3D software. A Continuous-Wave (CW) output power of 1.03 W is obtained under the bias current of 2.7A, with the slope efficiency of 0.402 W/A. Because of the asymmetric Separated Confinement Heterostructure (SCH) and the passive waveguide structure, the mode profile is expanded. Then, single mode outputs with near-field mode spot size of 5 μm×5 μm and the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) far-field divergence angle is as low as 9.2°×16.2°. Therefore, the designed 1550 nm high power DFB semiconductor laser has potential applications in the fields such as silicon-based photonics integration, Free Space Optical (FSO) communication and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems.
