Abstract
To obtain a high-power and efficient single-mode laser, a new laser called the slab coupled optical waveguide laser (SCOWL) has been developed. We have simulated its structure and grown the chip with this structure by low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition. We have also produced the broad-area SCOWL and compared it with the traditional structure laser in terms of some performances. This work lays the foundation for further research of ridged lasers with the same structure.-
Keywords:
- SCOWL,
- traditional laser,
- broad-area laser
