  • Abstract
    Reliable continuous wave (CW) operation of high power InGaAs/AlGaAs (915 nm) laser diodes is reported. 6 W CW output power from uncoated 100 μm wide facets is demonstrated for an AlGaAs-InGaAs (915 nm) broad area laser diode. Internal losses are measured to be as low as 0.72 cm-1. High T0 is observed for the laser structure. Reliable operation of the devices is shown in the 2300 h life-test of fibre coupled devices at a CW power of >1 W output from 100 μm diameter fibres
