Abstract
An improvement for a semiconductor laser allows the facet reflectivity to be modified to compensate for the presence of a liquid or transparent solid medium having an index of refraction n m . A first dielectric coating is disposed on an end-facet of the semiconductor laser and has an index of refraction n 1 . A second dielectric coating is disposed on the first dielectric coating and has an index of refraction n 2 . The materials of the dielectric coatings are selected such that the fraction n 1 /n 2 =√n m . Thus the problems associated with reductions of laser facet reflectivity due to being in contact with a surrounding medium which optically is very different from air is overcome.
