A straight ridge and three different tapered waveguide structures with varying flare angles are fabricated to optimize the output power and spatial-mode performance. The best devices exhibit single-spatial-mode operation with room-temperature output power up to 350？mW in continuous-wave mode at an emission wavelength around 2.0？μm with a very small far-field lateral divergence angle, which is beyond state of the art in terms of single-spatial-mode output power.展开更多

By designing the grating with tapered layout, the tapered DBR grating exhibits the scattering effect on side backward-traveling waves, thus achieving additional suppression of parasitic oscillation. Under the suppression of parasitic oscillation, the spatial and spectral characteristics of the tapered laser are improved. The experimental results show that a near-Gaussian far-field distribution and a kink-free P–I characteristics are achieved, and a single peak emission with a wavelength of1046.84 nm and a linewidth of 56 pm is obtained.展开更多
