A. Kock et al., SINGLE-MODE AND SINGLE-BEAM EMISSION FROM SURFACE-EMITTING LASER-DIODES BASED ON SURFACE-MODE EMISSION, Applied physics letters, 69(24), 1996, pp. 3638-3640
Single-mode and single-beam emission have been achieved from surface e
mitting laser diodes based on the surface-mode-emission technique. By
employing on optimized device design and a first-order grating coupler
, the laser diodes show under pulsed operation condition a single-mode
emission with a linewidth of 0.11 nm. A power up to 3.6 mW is emitted
into a single, surface-emitted beam, which has a beam divergence of 0
.20 degrees. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
