AlGaInAsSb-based multiple quantum well broad area lasers (BALs) with a monolithically integrated Fourier-optical 4f spatial-frequency-filter for transverse mode selection (TMS) are realized. Laser samples with filters for the selection of the fundamental transverse mode (no. 0; TMS0) and—for proof of principle-higher order modes, here exemplarily mode no. 8 (TMS8), are prepared; their emission characteristics are investigated. The concept of BAL and TMS integration within the active laser chip is verified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
