Abstract :
In this paper, a ridge-type semiconductor laser with horizontal coupling of lateral modes is proposed to make the fabrication process simple, and increase the kink level. In this semiconductor laser, a groove is formed in the center of the mesa, and the lateral modes of the laser beams are determined by the coupling of the lateral modes confined by the two ridges, which are formed in the mesa.
