  • Abstract
    A novel technique to measure internal temperature distributions within high power semiconductor lasers with substrates transparent to the laser radiation is presented. The temperature resolution is better than 1°C with a spatial resolution of 1-2 μm. The results show highly non-uniform transverse temperature distributions and significant heating close to the facet at high output powers
