| Abstract | Quantum dot-based lasers have long been predicted to have interesting properties as well as performance advantages over more conventional quantum well-based devices. The development of InP-based quantum dot lasers for use in the 1.55 μm wavelength range is discussed here. The growth of high-quality quantum dots in this wavelength range is first described, followed by their use for laser-type applications. The performance of simple Fabry–Perot lasers is discussed with demonstrations of their high-speed dynamics and advantages for amplifier applications. The large spectra bandwidth of the gain and fast dynamics are used to produce record short pulse widths and high-repetition rate mode-locked lasers. The quantum dot gain medium is also demonstrated to have interesting properties for single frequency lasers, with very narrow linewidths and high side-mode suppression ratios. Although still in its infancy, InP-based quantum dot lasers are already demonstrating high performance as well as novel characteristics. |
