It is shown theoretically that a GaAs/AlGaAs laser diode design using an asymmetric waveguide structure and a bulk active layer, located close to the p-cladding, can provide high output power in a single, broad transverse mode for short-wavelength (< 0.9 m, matching the spectral range of high efficiency of silicon photodetectors) pulsed emission in the nanosecond pulse duration region, typically << 100 ns. The dependences of the laser performance on the thickness of the active layer and the cavity length are analysed. It is shown that the relatively thick bulk active layer allows the of short cavity lengths ( |
