ABSTRACT:
As edge-emitting semiconductor laser incorporating a narrow waveguide design is disclosed. The narrow waveguide expands the lateral mode size, creates a large modal spot size, and insures higher-order modes are beyond cutoff. Separate current confinement allows the current injection region to match the mode size. The resulting device exhibits single-mode operation with a large spot-size to high output powers.
