Kh. Park et al., KINK AND BEAM-STEERING FREE 0.98-MU-M HIGH-POWER RWG LASERS WITH PARTIALLY ION-IMPLANTED CHANNELS, Electronics Letters, 34(6), 1998, pp. 562-563
A high-power RWG pump laser free of kink and beam steering is proposed
and demonstrated. It utilises the ion implanted region formed in chan
nel as a lateral mode selective absorber for the purpose of suppressin
g the higher-order mode excitation. The fabricated 0.98 mu m pump lase
rs exhibit high-power operation up to 250mW without any kink and beam
steering.
