Abstract :
We review our results concerning the development of Semiconductor Disk Lasers with emission wavelength in the range of 1100-1200 nm. In particular, we highlight our recent demonstrations of SDLs with an output power of more than 20 W for emission around 1180 nm and corresponding frequency doubled power of more than 10 W at around 589 nm. The SDL gain chips utilize either dilute nitride (GaInNAs) or low-temperature GaInAs quantum wells.
