ABSTRACT Semiconductor lasers and amplifiers with tapered gain regions are
well suited for applications requiring high output powers and good
spatial mode quality. Operation these large-area devices requires
epitaxial material with excellent uniformity. GaAs-based devices have
been well demonstrated and we have recently reported InGaAsP/InP tapered
lasers and amplifiers that operate at λ=1.3 μm. In this paper,
the development of 1.5-μm InGaAsP/InP quantum well material suitable
for this type of device is discussed and initial results on high power
tapered lasers with near-diffraction limited beam widths fabricated in
this material are presented
