Design of Injection Lasers for Improved Radiation Performance.
Abstract
This research was concerned with (1) the electromagnetic modes and (2) the radiation pattern characteristics of contemporary injection laser structures. The objective was to investigate laser structures which can produce stable-beam radiation patterns. The control of lateral fields in lasers has been accomplished with many novel devices such as the channeled-substrate-planar, buried heterostructure and strip-loaded waveguide. The drawback to the stripe laser is that it is laterally unstable. Much of our work has been aimed at rigorously modeling the electromagnetic modes of stripe lasers. We have also applied our analysis to other lasers such as the channeled-substrate-planar device. (Author)
