We have investigated refractive index dispersion of GaAs1–xBix alloys, which are promising materials for temperature-insensitive laser diodes. With increasing the GaBi mole fraction x , the refractive index spectrum of the GaAs1–xBix alloy showed a spectral shift toward the longer wavelength side. The energy shift of the index spectrum becomes small in a sample with larger x . The thermo-optic coefficient was reduced to one third of that for GaAs by introducing GaBi of 2.6% in mole fraction. The results obtained here imply that the Bi-containing alloys are promising for distributed feedback laser diodes with temperature-insensitive lasing wavelength. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
