Spectrally resolved near-field intensity measurements from gain-guided twin-stripe laser diode arrays. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6089435

Gain-guided twin-stripe laser diodes were observed that exhibit two distinct sets of longitudinal modes, one corresponding to a single near-field intensity profile centered between the stripes and the other to a double-lobe near-field distribution centered under the stripes. A large spectral separation between these two sets of modes was also measured. The double-lobe distribution probably results from a weak index guide, which occurs because of the decrease in the current density between stripes. The spectral separation between these two near-field modes is believed to be due to band filling.
