Broad stripe 1.5 μm InGaAsP/InP multiple-quantum-well graded-index separate-confinement heterostructure lasers with different waveguide widths and doping profiles were designed, fabricated, and characterized. A record value of more than 16 W of pulsed optical power was obtained from lasers with a broadened waveguide design. Studies of the characteristics of lasers with different p-doping profiles as well as modeling data show that the heterobarrier electron leakage is responsible for the effect of the device optical power saturation with current.
