Abstract
Misaligning the waveguide structure of the twin channel laser (1) with respect to the wafer cleavage plane can create a condition that Fresnel reflection from the cleave will not be captured by the lateral waveguide (Figure 1). Most of the light reflected from the cleaved facet is thus refracted out from the waveguide and only single-pass gain is allowed.
