摘要
We report progress in the development of GaAs-based laser diodes with ultra-wide stripe widths of W = 1200 mu m emitting at a wavelength of lambda = 915 nm. In order to restrict ring oscillations and higher order modes in these ultra-wide devices we utilise periodic current structuring with a period of 29 mu m and width of 20 mu m. We compare the performance of a device with current structuring realised through contact layer implantation of the device after epitaxial growth, termed a ' Contact Implant' laser, and a device with buried current structuring close to the active region of the device realised using two step epitaxial regrowth and buried-regrown-implantstructure (BRIS) technology, termed a 'BRIS' laser. Quasi-continuous wave (QCW) measurement of the devices show that both the 'Contact Implant' and 'BRIS' laser achieve a very high peak output power of P-opt = 200 W at a power conversion efficiency of eta(E) = 59% and eta(E) = 52%, respectively, with a peak efficiency of around 70%. QCW beam-quality measurements show that the 'BRIS' laser has a much reduced 95% power content far-field angle of 9 degrees, compared to 12.7 degrees for the 'Contact Implant' laser, at a power of P-opt = 100 W. Under continuous wave (CW) operation the 'Contact Implant' laser reaches an output power of P-opt = 68 W at eta(E) = 57% and the 'BRIS' laser reaches P-opt = 53 W at eta(E) = 50%, but with a reduced far-field angle of 11.9. at P-opt = 40 W for the 'BRIS' laser.
