Near- and far-field dynamics of edge-emitting (Al,In)GaN laser diodes are measured simultaneously with a 100 nm spatial and a 5 ns temporal resolution using a scanning near-field microscope. We reconstruct the phase distribution at the laser diode facet. Beam steering and near-field mode dynamics are interpreted in terms of thermal and carrier induced change of refractive index in the waveguide.
