A method of transverse mode selection in high-power broad-waveguide separate confinement heterostructure quantum-well lasers by placing the front mirror at the angle other than the normal to the radiation propagation direction is proposed. Optimal values of facet inclination angles and widths and the refractive indices of the dielectric coating at which the fundamental guided mode dominates are found. The possibility of increasing the output power 1.2 times of a broad-waveguide separate confinement heterostructure quantum-well diode laser with inclined facet is shown.
