High-power operation of hydrogenated Al{sub {ital y}}Ga{sub 1{minus}{ital y}}As-GaAs-In{sub {ital x}}Ga{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}As ten-stripe arrays operating at {lambda}{similar to}1.06 {mu}m is described. Continuous (cw) operation of arrays with uncoated facets that are stabilized in temperature at 10 {degree}C has produced output powers as high as 375 mW/facet at 1.4 A. The optical coupling of the gain-guided arrays is shown to be significantly different from otherwise similar arrays fabricated in the Al{sub {ital y}}Ga{sub 1{minus}{ital y}}As-GaAs system. Limited lifetesting'' (168 h) of these strained layer diodes, stabilized at 50 {degree}C and a cw output power of 100 mW/facet (200 mW total), indicates good operating stability.
