By using an active multimode interferometer configuration, these devices exhibit high continue-wave output powers from the narrow ridge waveguides. At continue-wave injection current of 800mA, an output power of 18.5mW, and the single Gaussian-like emission spectrum centered at 972nm with a full width at half maximum of 18nm are obtained.展开更多
