Abstract
Broad area InGaN laser diodes have gained importance as versatile high-power sources in the blue spectral range. Lateral multi-mode operation naturally occurs in a ridge waveguide that is more than 3-5 µm broad, while also the formation of longitudinal mode bunches is amplified by a large active region. We investigate a series of broad-ridge InGaN laser diodes with different cavity length and ridge width and characterize their spectral-lateral-temporal behavior. Lateral modes of different order show sequential onset dynamics and can be observed at different wavelengths. We characterize their interplay with longitudinal mode dynamics as well as the emerging lateral-longitudinal mode pattern depending on cavity length and ridge width.
