    Design and screening of highly reliable 980nm pump lasers

    Presents a design and screening approach that can be adopted to improve reliability of high-power 980-nm semiconductor lasers. Flared-ridge waveguide chips were realized on GRIN-SCH single-quantum-well structures. Without any screening, flared devices, thanks to the reduced peak power and current density, showed a 20% reduction in failure rate with respect to devices with straight waveguide. By adopting extended screening criteria, a more reliable population was selected, showing a reduction by a factor of two in the failure rate extrapolated at standard operating conditions

    Intersubband relaxation time for In[sub x]Ga[sub 1−x]As/AlAs quantum wells with large transition energy

    No full text
    Intersubband relaxation time for InxGa1-xAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells presenting a large transition energy (680 meV) is measured by means of pump and probe experiments. Differential transmission decays in about 10 ps. The possible influence of intrasubband relaxation and Γ–X coupling on intersubband decay is discussed

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
