Abstract

Grating coupled emission Pb_1−xSn_xSe/Pb_1−x−yEu_ySn_xSe double‐heterostructure stripe‐geometry diode lasers were fabricated using molecular beam epitaxy. Low‐divergence far‐field patterns of ∼5° for multimode operation and ∼2° for single‐mode operation were obtained. These are the lowest values ever achieved with Pb salt lasers.
