Abstract
Summary form only given. An edge-emitting strained AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum-well laser structure is reported. It has a periodic index separate confinement heterostructure (PINSCH) optical confinement layers for a small beam divergence and high output power. Preliminary measurements of AR/HR-coated self-aligned ridge waveguide lasers show a CW output power of up to 350 mW and a 20 degrees transverse beam divergence at a 980-nm lasing wavelength. This low beam divergence results in a high coupling efficiency of 51% into single-mode fibers. The expanded optical field in PINSCH confinement layers significantly pinches the transverse beam divergence and increases the maximum output power. >
