Abstract

An optical amplifier takes the form of a semiconductor laser with coatings on its two facets. The coating takes the form of an anti-reflective coating, e.g. an oxide of Y, Gd, Nd, or La, to reduce the reflectivity and a thin interlayer, e.g. Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, to enhance compatibility between the laser and the anti-reflective coating.
