  • Abstract
    A monolithic structure integrating two stripe-geometry (GaAl)As lasers emitting at 8500 and 8850 Å is described. The threshold currents for both lasers are in the 50¿70 mA range. The spacing between the stripes for the device reported here is 25 ¿m; it can be reduced to 10 ¿m in order to optimise the direct coupling to a 50 ¿m diameter fibre.
