Abstract

Graded barrier quantum well (GBQW) heterostructure broad area lasers are capable of high power pulsed and cw operation. In this paper, we describe some of the design issues involving broad area graded barrier quantum well heterostructure lasers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition including the effect of junction heating in cw devices and the effect of various buffer layer structures on laser characteristics. We also outline some high power laser diode results for uncoated broad area devices.
