Abstract:Lasers based on AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures operating in the spectral range of 1.0 − 1.1 μm are investigated in order to optimise cladding layers. The effect of the thickness and composition of the cladding layers on the leakage of radiation from the laser waveguide is analysed. It is shown that for cladding thicknesses of 0.86 − 1.24 μm, it almost does not affect the output optical power. The effect of the crystal length and reflectivity of the laser mirrors on the leaky wave is demonstrated.
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.
