Kinks in the light output and other anomalous characteristics in stripe-geometry lasers were studied. It was found that these anomalies were caused by unstable horizontal, parallel to the junction, transverse modes. Introduction of a refractive-index guiding by Zn-diffusion stabilized the horizontal mode and removed the kink and other anomalies completely.
