Abstract
Recent experiments indicate that the modal structure of broad-area edge-emitting
semiconductor lasers maintains its behavior under widely varying
conditions, with each lateral mode having a distinct wavelength. Thus,
researchers can now reshape lateral modes and effectively combine all
multimode laser output into a single-mode fiber. This approach provides a
promising means for delivering high-power, high-speed modulated beams of
any wavelength that are directly radiated from semiconductor lasers.
