Popis: The variation in the center wavelength of distributed Bragg reflectors used in optoelectronic devices, such as surface emitting lasers and Fabry-Perot modulators, is measured as the temperature of the mirrors changes over the range 25 degrees C to 105 degrees C. An analytic expression for the shift in center wavelength with temperature is presented. The mirrors measured are made of InP/InGaAsP ( lambda /sub gap/=1.15 mu m), GaAs/AlAs, and Si/SiN/sub x/. The linear shifts in center wavelength are 0.110+or-0.003 nm/ degrees C, 0.087+or-0.003 nm/ degrees C, and 0.067+or-0.007 nm/ degrees C for the InP/InGaAsP, GaAs/AlAs, and Si/SiN mirrors, respectively. Based on these data, the change in penetration depth with temperature is calculated. >
