Abstract
A controlled spot-size laser diode, which can vary its near-field beam size by means of an electric signal, is demonstrated for use in high- quality laser printers. The laser has a flared stripe near the front f acet and a twin injection stripe modulator at the base of the flare, T he ratio of the maximum and minimum near-field spot sizes is 1:2.1 whe n the total operating current is 140 mA.
