The stimulated emission profiles of oxide-isolated double-heterostructure diode lasers with 8-..mu..m stripes are predicted using a dielectric profile completely determined by measurement. The profiles inferred from the spontaneous emission vary as 1 - (Vertical BarxVertical Bar/w)/sup ..cap alpha../ with ..cap alpha..approx. =4. The current-induced changes in gain and index are determined from the Fabry-Perot mode spectrum. A simple model with no adjustable parameters is used to predict near- and far-field widths to within 6%.
