    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for forming self-assembled quantum dots having desirable optical characteristics. SOLUTION: The quantum dots are self-assembled InAs quantum dots 406 formed in InGaAs quantum wells 404 that are grown on a GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. A first AlGaAs or GaAs barrier layer 402 is grown. A first InGaAs well layer 404 is grown on the first barrier layer. A sufficient monolayer thickness of InAs is grown on the InGaAs, to form self-assembled islands. A second InGaAs well layer 404 is grown over the InAs islands to embed the quantum dots. A second AlGaAs or GaAs barrier layer 402 is then grown to complete the quantum well. Optical gain characteristics of the quantum well layers are influenced by the compositional uniformity of surrounding layers, the dot size distribution, the dot density, and the number of layers of the dots that can be placed in an active region without exceeding a critical thickness for forming dislocation.

    Abstract: A quantum dot active region is disclosed in which quantum dot layers are formed using a self-assembled growth technique. In one embodiment, growth parameters are selected to control the dot density and dot size distribution to achieve desired optical gain spectrum characteristics. In one embodiment, the distribution in dot size and the sequence of optical transition energy values associated with the quantum confined states of the dots are selected to facilitate forming a continuous optical gain spectrum over an extended wavelength range. In another embodiment, the optical gain is selected to increase the saturated ground state gain for wavelengths of 1260 nanometers and greater. In other embodiments, the quantum dots are used as the active region in laser devices, including tunable lasers and monolithic multi-wavelength laser arrays.
