Abstract
High-power pulsed eye-safe IR laser diodes are currently of increasing interest for applications including range finders and IRCM systems. The output power for InP-based lasers is limited by power-current (P-I) characteristics saturation (rollover effect) rather than by the catastrophic optical damage of the mirror facets as observed for shorter wavelength devices.
