ABSTRACT:
Quantum well lasers are wavelength tuned after fabrication to provide a desired shorter emission wavelength. A wavelength tuned quantum well laser is accomplished by thermal annealing the laser for a prescribed period of time. The length of the anneal period and the temperature of annealing are based upon the desired primary emission wavelength to be achieved.
