Different Structures of Diode Lasers
A common construction now is a narrow stripe
of the active layer (Stripe Geometry),
confined on all sides (the sides as well as on top and bottom) with another
material. This family of diode lasers is called Index
Guided Lasers.
Examples of different laser structures for confining the laser light
to a specific region are shown in figure 6.28.
