Abstract
As light sources for optical communication systems, diode lasers must exhibit low threshold current and stable fundamental transverse mode operation. An InGaAsP/InP buried crescent (BC) laser is one of the most promising lasers satisfying these requirements.1 In the earlier BC laser, however, some devices exhibited higher-order transverse modes at high pump levels. The structure has now been improved by reducing the width and thickness of the active region to stabilize the transverse mode and to reduce the threshold current.
