Limitations to Peak Continuous Wave Power in High Power Broad Area Single Emitter 980 nm Diode Lasers

Not Accessible

Abstract

980nm broad area diode lasers with stripe widths in the 90-100 μm range are commercially important as pumps for fiber lasers, as well as for direct applications [1]. Recent work on 910-990nm sources has shown that peak continuous wave (CW) powers in the 20-25W range are achievable in such structures [2,3] and reliable operation for > 4000 hours was reported at 20W [4]. Further improvements in peak reliable power and beam quality of diode laser sources are required to enable greater brightness from the overall laser system.
