Abstract Tapered lasers are extensively employed in high power single-mode lasing, yet still suffering from the potential formation of higher-order transverse modes in the tapered region, which severely degrades the laser beam quality. Herein, we propose a novel supersymmetric segmented tapered laser to achieve stable fundamental transverse mode operation. Our design features a three-segmented tapered waveguide along the light propagation direction, with sub-waveguides of varying widths flanking each main waveguide segment. The main waveguides measure 8 μm, 12 μm, and 16 μm in width. Specifically, the 8 μm main waveguide has a corresponding subsidiary waveguide of 2.67 μm; the 12 μm main waveguide has two subsidiary waveguides measuring 4.82 μm and 6.63 μm; and the 16 μm main waveguide has two subsidiary waveguides measuring 7.13 μm and 3.68 μm. Using the coupled-mode theory, we systematically analyzed the coupling coefficients under different inter-waveguide spacings, leading to an optimized spacing of 1.2 μm through comprehensive theoretical simulations and fabrication compatibility constraints. Furthermore, phase-shifted gratings were integrated between tapered waveguide segments to enable precise longitudinal mode selection. This synergistic design could successfully realize robust single-mode operation, offering a scalable framework for on-chip integrated high-power, high-beam-quality tapered lasers.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
