| Abstract
| - Abstract. GaAs/GaAIAs high-power window stripe lasers have been developed with a uniform active layer in the region adjacent to the device facets and with a curved active layer in the central region. A single-step liquid-phase epitaxy growth is used in the fabrication process to form two internal lateral current paths, so allowing for a very simple fabrication process. The optical coupling between the two stimulation emission regions reduces the beam divergence. The steady-state analysis of such a laser structure, including heating effects, agrees well with experimental results.
