Abstract

We report on the temperature characteristics of edge-emitting tilted wave lasers (TWL) composed of a thin active waveguide (0.7 μm) optically coupled to a thick passive waveguide (26 μm). The active region is based on four 1040-nm InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells. The 2-mm-long and 50-μm-wide broad area lasers show characteristic temperature of 115 K and lasing up to 120°C in the continuous-wave mode. The maximal pulsed output power as high as 40 W was achieved being limited by the available current source. Vertical far-fields of the TWLs consist of two tilted narrow lobs (2.4 deg full width at half maximum each), which contain >70% of the total output power. The tilt angle of the lobes slightly increases with the temperature (by 1 deg/40°C) due to the transverse mode hopping caused by the temperature-induced changes of the waveguide refractive indices.
