Title
Diodenlaser-Oszillator oder- Verstaerker mit wenigstens einer lichtleitenden Halbleiterschicht
Other Title
Laser diode oscillator or amplifier - has conducting layer with greater refractive index than that of encapsulated semiconductor material with symmetric region formed having zero percent aluminium content.
Abstract
The laser diode oscillator has an InAlGaAs structure with the aluminium structure formed on top on a GaAs substrate. The conducting semiconductor layer (LH) has a thickness of one micron on both sides. This provides a refractive index that is greater than that of the semiconductor material that is covered. A symmetric region (1) is formed that has a zero percent aluminium content and is within a quantum wave structure (2). USE - Solid state laser systems for material processing, eg cutting, welding or medical applications. ADVANTAGE - Improved beam quality for high power.
