Long-life GaAlAs lasers with 100 mW fundamental transverse mode operation have been developed. This excellent degree of operation has been attained by using the nonabsorbing mirrors for suppression of mirror degradation and a twin ridge substrate structure for stabilization of the transverse mode. It has been found that under 100 mW CW operation at 50/sup 0/C, degradation is insignificant even after 6000 h.
