Abstract

We newly propose the first lateral mode selective active multimode interferometer laser diode. The design principle is to arrange identical propagation path of different lateral mode. Thanks to multimode waveguide structure, 0^th mode and 1^st order mode has individual propagation path within one device. Individual lasing of fundamental mode as well as first mode was confirmed successfully.
