    Abstract: A semiconductor laser is formed to include a current blocking layer that is positioned below the active region of the device and used to minimize current spreading beyond the defined dimensions of an output beam's optical mode. When used in conjunction with other current-confining structures typically disposed above the active region (e.g., ridge waveguide, electrical isolation, oxide aperture), the inclusion of the lower current blocking layer improves the efficiency of the device. The current blocking layer may be used in edge-emitting devices or vertical cavity surface-emitting devices, and also functions to improve mode shaping and reduction of facet deterioration by directing current flow away from the facets.
