Abstract InGaAsP/InP laser heterostructures with step-divergent waveguides and two stressed quantum wells were obtained by metalorganic VPE. The lasers emitting at 1.55 μm provide for an intrinsic quantum yield of ηi=85%. An optical power of 5.2 W in the continuous operation mode was achieved at a laser diode temperature of 10°C. The internal optical losses in the laser heterostructure studied amount to 3.6 cm−1, which is comparable with the level of losses in similar structures with uniform divergent waveguides.
