Deflection of a diode laser beam using an injection‐type deflector monolithically integrated with a very long waveguide is demonstrated. The deflector and the waveguide constitute a laser cavity. The waveguide filters out higher order modes, and only the fundamental‐mode light is incident on the deflector. Because the incident light is of a fixed single mode, the deflection of the output beam is very smooth. The deflection mechanism is primarily due to interference between constituent modes for short deflectors, and phase‐front tilting of each mode for long deflectors.
