Abstract :
Deflection of a diode laser beam using a local deflector monolithically integrated in the cavity near an output facet is demonstrated. The index distribution in the deflector is adjusted by controlling the injection currents, and the laser beam is scanned over 9° by the prism effect of the deflector.
