High brightness semiconductor lasers have extremely important applications in fields such as laser radar. Traditional semiconductor lasers face challenges such as large vertical divergence angle, elliptical beam output, multiple lateral modes, and poor beam quality, which limit the direct application of high brightness semiconductor lasers.

In response to this challenge, the team from the Bimberg Sino German Green Photonics Research Center at Changchun Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics has adopted a high brightness vertical wide area edge emission (HiBBEE) structure in the vertical direction, using the photonic bandgap effect to replace the traditional total reflection principle for light field limitation, improving the size of the optical mode, and reducing the vertical divergence angle of semiconductor lasers; At the same time, in the lateral direction, non-uniform waveguides were used to suppress lateral higher-order modes, improve the lateral beam quality of semiconductor lasers, and optimize the design and preparation of HiBBEE non-uniform waveguide semiconductor lasers. At a current of 1.5A, the full width at half maximum of the vertical and lateral divergence angles is still as low as 8.6 ° and 5.1 °, while maintaining the fundamental mode output. The brightness is improved by 1.5 times compared to similar devices.
