Criteria for design of single-lobe phased-array diode lasers
Abstract
A design for a real-refractive-index waveguide semiconductor laser array which radiates in a single narrow far-field lobe is presented. An example of such an array is given. It is shown that phased-array diode lasers lase preferentially in the v = 1 supermode if the gain between the waveguides exceeds that of the guiding regions themselves.
