Abstract

Abstract

Tapered semiconductor lasers are characterized by high power and high beam quality. As a result, they have attracted much attention and have become a widely researched topic. This review focuses on the three main structures of tapered semiconductor diode lasers:the traditional structure, the distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) structure and the lateral grating structure. This paper summarizes the results of domestical and international representative research from the past ten years, introduces its theoretical research and experimental progress, and predicts the future development of tapered semiconductor lasers.
- tapered diode laser,
