High-Power Low-Beam Divergence Edge-Emitting Semiconductor Lasers with 1- and 2-D Photonic Bandgap Crystal Waveguide

We report on edge-emitting lasers based on the 1- and 2-D longitudinal photonic bandgap crystal concept. The longitudinal photonic bandgap crystal (PBC) design allows a robust and controllable extension of the fundamental mode over a thick multilayer waveguide to obtain a very large vertical mode sp...

Description
Summary:We report on edge-emitting lasers based on the 1- and 2-D longitudinal photonic bandgap crystal concept. The longitudinal photonic bandgap crystal (PBC) design allows a robust and controllable extension of the fundamental mode over a thick multilayer waveguide to obtain a very large vertical mode spot size and a narrow vertical beam divergence.
