Abstract
Over 115 mW single longitudinal mode laser output was obtained from an InGaAsP MQW DFB waveguide laser diode integrated with a vertically tapered mode expander. The circular cross-sectional laser beam profile with the FWHM divergence angles of 9.5°×13.5° enabled a high coupling efficiency of 63% directly into a lensed singlemode fibre, resulting in a fibre coupled output of over 70 mW
