High-Power Reliable Operation of InGaAsP/InP Laser Bars at 1.73 {micro}m

Conference ·
OSTI ID:757413

InGaAsP/InP laser bars with an emission wavelength of 1.73 {micro}m have been fabricated using compressively-strained multiple-quantum-well separate-confinement heterostructures. One-cm-wide, 0.7-fill-factor, diode bars are bonded onto Si microchannel heatsinks. A maximum cw power of 16 W was produced from a one-cm bar. Derated to SW cw, the extrapolated lifetime is 10,000 hours of operation with a 20% degradation in output power. A 10-bar microlensed diode array with a one-square-cm aperture produced 200 W of peak power and was focused onto a Cr:ZnSe slab laser. Over 3 watts of pulsed power and xxmw of average power was generated at a wavelength of 2.5 {micro}m.
