以 ZnP_2为源的深度锌扩散已被用来制作发射波长在1.2～1.3微米范围内的条形双异质结 GaInAsP/InP 二极管激光器。这些器件表现出良好的电学和光学限制。对于相当窄的条宽(<10微米),发射通常是单模和线性的。观察到的连续输出达～8毫瓦/每面。在初步寿命试验中,有两个锌扩散的激光器在室温下连续工作超过5000小时而没有明显的退化。 Depth zinc diffusion sourced from ZnP 2 has been used to fabricate bar-like double heterojunction GaInAsP / InP diode lasers with emission wavelengths in the 1.2-1.3 μm range. These devices exhibit good electrical and optical limitations. For fairly narrow bar widths (<10 microns) the emission is usually single mode and linear. The continuous output observed was ~ 8 mW per side. In the preliminary lifetime test, two zinc-diffused lasers operated continuously at room temperature for more than 5000 hours without significant degradation.
