Abstract
The self-aligned bend waveguide (SBW) AlGaInP visible laser developed herein produces an index guiding waveguide structure by the bend of th e double heterolayers and offers a very small beam astigmatism. The la ser was fabricated using two-step metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MO VPE). Kink-free operation at 40 mW was achieved by modifying the devic e parameters. The measured beam astigmatism was maintained at less tha n 1 mum and did not vary with output power. The aging results under th e condition of 50-degrees-C and 20 mW output power demonstrated the la ser's reliability.
