Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC) Conference Start Date: 2016, Oct. 2 Conference End Date: 2016, Oct. 6 Conference Location: Waikoloa, HI, USA We report on our recent progress in high-modulation-efficiency, InGaN-based integrated waveguide modulator-laser diodes (IWM-LDs), high-speed violet and blue emitting superluminescent diodes (SLDs), InGaN-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), and their applications for gigahertz laser based free-space and underwater wireless optical communications.
