            Abstract : 
Single-mode broad-waveguide separate confinement ridge-waveguide InGaAsP/InP diode lasers emitting in 1500 nm wavelength range have realized cw output power levels in excess of 400 mW. The high-power broad-waveguide structure design and ridge-waveguide fabrication technology along with device operational performance parameters will be discussed.
