Abstract
Optically pumped waveguide coherent laser arrays are demonstrated in an 1-micron-thick-semiconductor-membrane-InGaAs-quantum-well laser transferred on a silicon carbide heat spreader emitting at 1010 nm. We employ a real and Fourier space imaging setup to study the emission of single and arrays of laser cavities. We are able to create waveguide laser arrays with modal widths of approximately 5-10 μm separated by 5-10 μm which maintain their mutual coherence while operating on either single or multiple longitudinal modes. This laser geometry can be accurately controlled by the laser pump and they offer a new high gain laser platform that permits integration with photonic structures.
