Abstract
GaAs heterostructure lasers with unstable resonator cavities were demonstrated for the first time with both curved mirrors fabricated by etching. Typical output powers of 0.35 W were observed in a stable, highly coherent lateral mode. The laser operated stably in a single longitudinal mode over a large range of injection currents. The external quantum efficiency was 70% of that of a similar laser with both mirror facets cleaved implying good output coupling of the energy from the entire region.
