Abstract

Strong optical and electrical interactions can occur between optoelectronic devices when the element-size and inter-element spacing are significantly reduced. In this paper, we study these interactions in the closely packed, positive index-guided submicrometer-ridge laser arrays, with element size of ~ 0.8 µm, operating at a wavelength of ~ 1.55 µm. From simulations, the structure is found to favor the in-phase lasing mode, which produces a single-main-lobe far-field profile. Next, this property is experimentally demonstrated in the fabricated device, which exhibits a near-diffraction-limited (beamwidth of 1.3 times diffraction-limit) single-main-lobe far-field operating at 2.6 times the threshold current.
