Abstract :
An advanced microarray-selective epitaxy with wider open-stripes has been developed for simple fabrication of distributed-feedback laser diode array-based high-power wavelength-selectable light sources. More than 40-mW fiber-coupled power and 50-dB sidemode suppression ratio over 9.2-nm wavelength were achieved.
