Abstract
Recently, promising results have been obtained from a monolithically integrated master-oscillator power amplifier (M-MOPA) composed of a single-mode distributed Bragg-reflector (DBR) oscillator and linear chain of amplifiers and surface-emitting output couplers.1 The oscillator output is successively amplified in index-guided amplifiers and is coupled upwards from the wafer surface via detuned second-order DBR's. Coherent output power from this structure is nearly 0.5 W, in contrast to < 100 mW from coupled arrays of grating-surface-emitting oscillators.
