Laser diodes monolithically integrated with spot-size converters fabricated on 2 inch InP substrates

Laser diodes monolithically integrated with spot-size converters operating at 1.3 /spl mu/m and having a 7/spl times/11 degree far-field pattern and a -2.4 dB coupling loss to fibre with good alignment tolerance have been successfully fabricated on 2 inch substrates with satisfactory uniformity and reproducibility. >
