| Abstract | Semiconductor laser diodes (LDs) are preferred as pump sources for many solid state laser systems. However, these applications require mainly high output power and narrow beam divergence of LDs to achieve high conversion and coupling efficiencies. Widening the transverse mode to reduce power density at the facet is one direct approaching to increase the catastrophic optical damage (COD). A reduced optical confinement factor can be naturally obtained in lasers with wide waveguides, providing narrow far field emission [1]. Various optimizing methods of laser heterostructures focus on the beam divergence reduction and then contribute to high COD level. Unfortunately, a decrease of the confinement factor is inevitably connected with a deterioration of the laser performance, such as threshold current, slop efficiency, and maximum output power. Several designs have been proposed to mitigate these side effects, such as utilization of a large optical cavity (LOC) into separate-confinement heterostructure (SCH) layers [2], inserting additional layers to control waveguide properties of conventional SCHs [3], or using the vertically integrated passive array [4]. A main disadvantage of LOC design is, however, the deterioration of the laser diode performance as waveguide layers are modified excessively thick to reach very high power operation. Compared with the LOC structure into SCH LDs, the LDs with the double barrier separate-confinement heterostructure (DBSCH) structure possess superior characteristics in both COD levels and beam divergence with only moderate deterioration of LD performance in slope efficiency and characteristic temperature [5]. For DBSCH LDs, pair of wide-gap barrier layers which possess low refractive index are inserted into the interfaces between the waveguide and cladding layers, which will widen the transverse mode by modifying the epitaxial layers of double barriers (DBs). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
