Abstract :
A monolithically integrated master oscillator power amplifier (M-MOPA) with a flared power amplifier region operating at 854 nm has been fabricated that radiates in a single diffraction-limited lobe to an output power of 2.2-W continuous wave (CW). Additionally, the far field is extinguished by 26 dB with the master oscillator turned off enabling applications requiring digital modulation.
