We report a new lateral selective-area growth by liquid-phase epitaxy with the preparation of a new buried-heterostructure laser, the lateral double-barrier buried-heterostructure (DBBH) laser, as an illustrative example. The DBBH laser so prepared operated in a stable clean fundamental mode with reduced optical scattering losses due to sidewall roughness of the etched mesa. Pulsed operation was achieved at temperatures as high as 280 /sup 0/C. This new selective-area growth can also be used to form guided wave integrated microlens systems.
