    摘要: A semiconductor laser device is disclosed that includes a laser resonator situated to produce a laser beam, with the laser resonator including an angled distributed Bragg reflector (a-DBR) region including first and second ends defining an a-DBR region length corresponding to a Bragg resonance condition with the first end being uncleaved and including a first mode hop region having a first end optically coupled to the a-DBR region first end and extending a first mode hop region length associated with the a-DBR region length to a second end so as to provide a variable longitudinal mode selection for the laser beam.

    摘要: Semiconductor laser with mirror facet protection against degradation including a modified segment near the exit window that has a double waveguide with a reduced confinement factor compared with the confinement factor of the double waveguide of the main laser segment, such that the radiation at the exit facet in the modified double waveguide is pushed away from the active region, less radiation is absorbed at the facet and less heat is produced by nonradiative recombination at the exit facet, while the field distribution of the two double waveguides have a good overlap and low transfer losses due to the use of waveguide type structures with an active waveguide and a passive trapping waveguide.
