Abstract :
Without introducing extra processing steps, the idea of diluted waveguide is proposed and demonstrated to improve laser vertical modes. Such a new laser structures can simplify the work of laser-fiber coupling and relax the alignment tolerance. They may also be applied to obtain high power semiconductor lasers and polarization independent photonic devices
