  • Abstract
    Low-loss waveguiding at 1.55 ¿m wavelenght in quarternary InGaAlAs grown on InP by molecular-beam epitaxy is demonstrated for the first time. Ridge waveguides with length up to 1.8 cm width between 1.3 and 50 ¿m have losses as low as 2.2dB/cm, showing the potential of this materials systems for high-performance waveguide devices.
