Abstract

We show that the emission of broad-area semiconductor amplifiers and lasers can be efficiently stabilized by introducing two-dimensional periodic modulations simultaneously on both the refractive index and the pump (gain-loss) profiles in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The interplay between such index and gain-loss modulations efficiently suppresses the pattern-forming instabilities, leading to highly stable and bright narrow output beams from such sources. We also determine the stabilization performance of the device as a function of the pump current and linewidth enhancement factor.
