Abstract

A tandem combination of a uniform gain broad-area semiconductor laser and a (lateral) periodic gain section displays a stable, near-diffraction-limited single-lobed far-field pattern. The GaAs/GaAlAs quantum well lasers display a high degree of coherence across 60-μm-wide apertures provided that the broad-area section is sufficiently long. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
