摘要
In the reported high-power GaAiAs laser structure, current-blocked regions are formed near both facets for suppressing local temperature rise. The active layer is made thin only in the vicinity of the facets in order to enlarge the spot size without significant increase of the operating current. The experimentally fabricated laser with the proposed structure exhibited a COD (catastrophic optical damage) power density 1. 4 times higher and a degradation rate 1/2 times lower than those of conventional-structure lasers.
