Abstract :
The design, fabrication, and testing of distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), distributed feedback (DFB), and grating coupled emission (GCE) Pb1-xSnxSe/Pb1-x-yEuySn xSe double heterostructure stripe geometry molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) grown diode lasers are discussed. The DBR and DFB lasers are the first Pb-salt corrugated lasers to operate in CW (continuous) mode at temperatures above that of liquid nitrogen. For the GCE lasers, a narrow far field distribution of ~5° was obtained for the first time
