Abstract

The invention includes material structures that produce optical and electrical confinement in semiconductor laser diodes. The material structures can produce a low operating voltage and polarization control for use of the laser diodes to improve sensor performance for position sensors, gas sensors, atomic clocks, and bio-sensors. The invention may also have application to laser diodes for optical interconnects and high power laser diode pumps, and those application requiring laser diode arrays.
