Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/GB90/00055 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 1, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 1, 1991 PCT Filed Jan. 15, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/08411 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 26, 1990.A semiconductor laser amplifier includes both a waveguide layer and an active layer. In use, an optical wave in the active layer interacts with the waveguiding layer to reduce the polarisation sensitivity of the amplifier. A short, thick active layer is not required, typical dimensions being 250 or 500 (my)m long, by 0.2 (my)m high. The mesa is typically about 2 (my)m wide, but may be wider.
