The first cw operation of an AlGaAs/GaAs distributed Bragg reflector laser was achieved at room temperature with a threshold current as low as 38 mA. Surface emission exceeding 4 mW was obtained with an external differential quantum efficiency of 9% and a beam divergence of 0.17°×10°. A two-dimensional laser array with 3×4 gratings was also fabricated and an output power exceeding 500 mW was obtained under pulsed condition.
