Abstract :
Summary form only given. High-power laser diodes with wavelengths ranging in wavelength from 1.5 to 2.0 /spl mu/m have many applications. Included in these applications are measurement systems. Within this talk data will be presented on high-power broad-area 1.55 /spl mu/m laser diodes that may be used for many of these applications. These data include cw output powers approaching 3 W from a single broad-area laser diode. The structure is grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and has a strained InGaAsP multiple quantum well active region.
