Abstract
High power semiconductor lasers which operate in the fundamental lateral and transverse mode are disclosed. Fundamental transverse mode behavior is well known by virtue of using a thin active layer. Fundamental lateral mode behavior in a wide double hetero-structure laser is achieved by selectively enhancing losses in the higher order lateral modes. Alternatively, a distributed feedback structure such as a grating may be used to achieve fundamental lateral mode operation in a wide double hetero-structure semiconductor laser.
