Abstract :
Gain profiled edge emitting semiconductor lasers, exhibiting a high degree of spatial coherence, have been fabricated and analyzed. We have experimentally investigated their behaviour under pulsed and CW operation to study their thermal properties and complemented this work with numerical simulations.
