M. Sagawa et al., HIGH-POWER, HIGHLY-RELIABLE OPERATION OF INGAAS INGAASP 0.98 MU-M LASERS WITH AN EXPONENTIAL-SHAPED FLARED STRIPE/, Electronics Letters, 32(24), 1996, pp. 2277-2279
A 0.98 mu m InGaAs/InGaAsP/GaAs strained quantum-well laser with an ex
ponential-shaped-flared stripe has been developed. Its maximum output
power is 40-60% higher than that of ordinary straight-stripe lasers fo
r the same kink-occurrence output power. Testing at 150mW showed stabl
e operation with an estimated Lifetime of > 200000h.
