A new injection laser, the channel-guide (CG) laser, has been developed for leaky-mode operation. The devices are characterised by the stable, two-lobed far fields typical of leaky-mode operation and produce ‘kink-free’ outputs to > 160 mW (40 ns pulse) from a 3 μm stripe.
D.E. Ackley (1981) studied this question.
