Abstract
Quantum well lasers are herein made with purposely-graded interfaces which control the interdiffusion of atoms during high temperature processing. The result is a predictably-graded, large interface between the quantum well and the waveguide layers to either side thereof. The process is highly controllable and produces unique structures which exhibit surprisingly high power in a repeatable manner.
