Abstract
A new buried-heterostructure visible GaAlAs laser, called a buried-convex waveguide structure (BCS) laser, has been developed. BCS lasers exhibit a highly stable transverse and single longitudinal mode operation in the 750 to 870 nm wavelength range. Very low threshold currents of 10–20 mA are obtained for the wavelength at about 750 nm. The output beam of BCS lasers has an aspect ratio of 2.0–2.5 and has no astigmatism. The relative intensity noise of BCS laser is very low at a level below -150 dB/Hz and is constant in the temperature range between 10 and 50°C. The maximum output power ofBCS lasers with facet coating is almost independent of the lasing wavelength between 750 and 870 nm.
