Title: High Peak Power Gain Switched Flared Waveguide Lasers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:9697

We gain-switch flared waveguide lasers to obtain 14.5 W peak powers and 0.5 nJ pulse energies with laser structures compatible with the generation of diffraction-limited beams. The results are in excellent agreement with a microscopic laser model.
