Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a laser device with a stepped graded index separate confinement heterostructure (SCH), in accordance with some embodiments. One embodiment includes a substrate area, and an active region adjacent to the substrate area. The active region includes an SCH layer, which comprises a first portion and a second portion adjacent to the first portion. A composition of the first portion is graded to provide a first conduction band energy increase over a distance from multiple quantum wells (MQW) to a p-side of a laser device junction. A composition of the second portion is graded to provide a second conduction band energy increase over the MQW to the p-side distance. The first conduction band energy increase is different than the second conduction band energy increase. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
