Abstract
The heat management of the AlGaAsSb/InGaAsSb ridge waveguide MQW laser at 2 μm wavelength range has been investigated by using the finite-element method (FEM). Results show that the thermal behavior of antimonide lasers is quite different from InP or GaAs-based lasers mainly due to the low thermal conductivities of antimonides, which are coincident with the observed results. By using junction down-mounting or using thick gold plating layer as heat spreader on the top contact for substrate down-mounting, the thermal characteristics of the antimonide lasers can be dramatically improved.
