abstract = "Near-field scattering optical microscopy (NSOM) is used to characterize the emission output and to obtain photoconductivity maps of InGaAsP multiple quantum well lasers. The high spatial resolution of NSOM (approximately λ/20) allows detailed imaging of the laser structure. Emission measurements not only provide direct visualization of the laser mode but also reveal unwanted emission due to InP electroluminescence. Near-field photoconductivity experiments yield high resolution measurement of carrier transport throughout the structure yielding valuable information on current leakage, defect formation, and the quality of p-n junctions.",
