Abstract
A high-power 690-nm AlGaInP laser for use in a high-density rewritable-optical-disk memory system is presented. The deterioration of its temperature characteristics, which results from the high-power-oriented laser structure, is improved by using compressively strained GaInP quantum wells as the active layer. Output power of 40 mW is achieved up to 80 degrees C. Stable fundamental-transverse-mode operation is obtained up to 50 mW. Output-power-induced facet degradation is suppressed by an Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ facet coating. The lasers operate stably at 30 mW at 50 degrees C for over 2600 h. The mean extrapolated lifetime is 10000 h. >
