摘要
Angled-grating distributed-feedback (alpha-DFB) and photonic-crystal DFB (PCDFB) lasers emitting in the mid-IR are promising sources for applications requiring a combination of high output power and good beam quality. We demonstrate that the beam quality and brightness of wide-stripe alpha-DFB lasers can be significantly enhanced by suppressing parasitic Fabry-Perot-like lasing modes that are not appreciably guided by the angled grating. A factor of 3 increase in brightness is demonstrated by using loss regions, created by bombardment with energetic silicon ions, to block the direct facet-to-facet gain path. Furthermore, it is shown that the beam quality of PCDFB lasers, in which a grating is defined on a two-dimensional lattice, can be improved over a-DFB devices by as much as a factor of 5.
