Abstract

The lateral coherence of broad-area lasers fabricated from a GaAs/GaAlAs graded index waveguide separate confinement and single quantum well heterostructure grown by molecular-beam epitaxy was investigated. These lasers exhibit a high degree of coherence along the junction plane, thus producing a stable and very narrow far field intensity distribution.
