    摘要: Semiconductor laser diodes, particularly broad area single emitter (BASE) laser diodes of high light output power, are commonly used in opto-electronics. Light output power and stability of such laser diodes are of crucial interest and any degradation during normal use is a significant disadvantage. The present invention concerns an improved design of such laser diodes, the improvement in particular significantly minimizing or avoiding degradation of such laser diodes at very high light output powers by controlling the current flow in the laser diode in a defined way. The minimization or avoidance of (front) end section degradation of such laser diodes significantly increases long-term stability compared to prior art designs. This is achieved by controlling the carrier injection into the laser diode in the vicinity of its facets in such a way that abrupt injection current peaks are avoided. To this, a current-blocking isolation layer (14) is shaped at its edge or border in such a way that it shows an uneven or partly discontinuous mechanical structure leading to a decreasing effective isolation towards the edge of said isolation layer, thus providing an essentially non-abrupt or even approximately continuous transition between isolated and non-isolated areas.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser diode comprises a semiconductor body having an n-region and a p-region laterally spaced apart within the semiconductor body. The laser diode is provided with an active region between the n-region and the p-region having a front end and a back end section, an n-metallization layer located adjacent the n-region and having a first injector for injecting current into the active region, and a p-metallization layer opposite to the n-metallization layer and adjacent the p-region and having a second injector for injecting current into the active region. The thickness and/or width of at least one metallization layer is chosen so as to control the current injection in a part of the active region near at least one end of the active region compared to the current injection in another part of the active region. The width of the at least one metallization layer is larger than a width of the active region. This arrangement results in substantially uniform current distribution near the front end of the active region. Advantageously, this uniform current density significantly improves the reliability of the laser diode.

    摘要: Edge-emitting laser diodes having mirror facets include passivation coatings that are conditioned using an ex-situ process to condition the insulating material used to form the passivation layer. An external energy source (laser, flash lamp, e-beam) is utilized to irradiate the material at a given dosage and for a period of time sufficient to condition the complete thickness of passivation layer. This ex-situ laser treatment is applied to the layers covering both facets of the laser diode (which may comprise both the passivation layers and the coating layers) to stabilize the entire facet overlay. Importantly, the ex-situ process can be performed while the devices are still in bar form.
