Notes:
Data are presented on high-power strained-layer InGaAs quantum well heterostructure laser arrays. These devices are periodic nonplanar arrays, formed by a single metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth over a selectively etched corrugated GaAs substrate. The corrugation serves to provide both stripe definition and index guiding while suppressing lateral lasing perpendicular to the stripes. Maximum pulsed optical powers of 2.5 W/facet (width=1600 μm, length=440 μm) for an emission wavelength of 1.03 μm have been obtained from uncoated devices having threshold current densities in the range 290–600 A/cm2. Far-field radiation patterns indicate that the arrays are phase locked.
