Abstract
Tunable twin-guide (TTG) laser diodes have been fabricated using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) exclusively for all epitaxy stages. A significant performance improvement over previous experiments has been achieved with an effective current confinement in a considerably simpler laser structure. As a consequence, continuous wavelength tuning over 4.7 nm is obtained while maintaining a light output power per facet of 3 mW.Keywords
