Abstract :
Summary form only given. Here we present a 1.3-/spl mu/m waveguide laser structure, designed to suppress second-order-mode oscillation, that operates to record-high cw power for any type of InGaAs active diode lasers. It also emits in a pure fundamental transverse mode to at least 20 W peak pulsed power.
