Limits :
Verticality ⇒ angle of 7°
Depth = 1.45 µm ⇒ < 4 µm
Etched sidewalls ⇒ notching
Optimization of the process of chlorinated ICP-RIE etching III-V materials
Limit redeposition (verticality) : Adding Argon
Influence of ICP power : Influence of pressure :
Deep etching process optimized : Cl2/N2/Ar 45/15/5 sccm – 75 W ICP – 5.5 mTorr

Approach
Array of 2nd-order DFB singlemode, all-
photonic-crystal (PhC) laser. We replace a laser
which would be tunable over a wide range of
wavelengths by an array of N lasers tunable over
a range of wavelengths N times smaller. We call
this method MTDLAS: multiplexed tunable
diode laser absorption spectroscopy.
