abstract = "We report recent progress and discuss important issues in the design of gain-switched and combined gain/Q-switched asymmetric waveguide lasers with a large effective spot size for applications ranging from optical range finding (with a prototype system developed) to nonlinear optics. The role of the active layer material, the waveguide design, and the use of saturable absorber in the cavity are discussed.",
