Abstract
A new type of high-power laser diodes is fabricated with a broad-area waveguide tilted at 7° from the facet normal. For the current between 0.6 and 1.2 A, it behaves like a superluminescent diode with 40-nm spectral width and 40-mW output power. The far field emits at about 25° away from the facet normal. For the current above 1.2 A, it oscillates with a narrow spectrum. The far field emits along the facet normal with its angle only twice of the diffraction limit. The output power per facet could be 1 W at 12 A. © 2004 IEEE.
