Abstract

Leaky-wave coupling has proven to be useful for creating single-mode, in-phase semiconductor laser arrays in both edge-emitters [1, 2] and VCSELs [3-6]. One of the principal advantages of leaky or anti-guided arrays is that resonant coupling can occur, with strong parallel coupling existing between all elements of the array [7, 8]. However, at the resonance condition, there is a significant amount of radiation loss from the edges of the array for the resonant mode, which can detrimentally affect threshold and efficiency. This work will present a method for eliminating the radiation loss and increasing mode discrimination while maintaining the resonance condition in anti-guided arrays.
