Abstract

Distributed feedback ridge-waveguide lasers, emitting up to 250 mW in a single lateral and longitudinal mode at 852 nm and 894 nm are presented. A threshold current of 40 mA and a differential quantum efficiency of 1 W/A is achieved. The distributed feedback is provided by a second order grating, formed into an InGaP/GaAs/InGaP multilayer structure. Owing to the stable lasing frequency, the large side mode suppression ratio (>40 dB) and the small spectral line width (<500 kHz) the lasers are well suited for atomic clocks and Caesium D1 and D2 spectroscopy. This was verified by the measurement of the hyperfine structure of the Caesium lines.
