Abstract
For large lateral discontinuity of the waveguide geometry radiation losses appear in the MCRW laser due to excitation of leaky waves. Thereby enhanced threshold currents and reduced efficiencies are obtained. The condition for the exclusion of radiation losses is formulated and the optimum design of MCRW laser diodes in InGaAsP-InP and AlGaAs-GaAs is discussed.
