ABSTRACT:
In a quantum well semiconductor laser structure, a distributed Bragg reflector is used to select the polarization mode of the emitted light beam. The period of the distributed Bragg reflector matches the peak gain of one polarization mode providing optical feedback for that mode to be the light emitted. The distributed Bragg reflector can extend along the length of the active layer within the semiconductor structure or extend at one end of the active layer external to the semiconductor structure.
