Abstract
We fabricated and characterized a membrane external-cavity surface-emitting laser (MECSEL) emitting at 1640 nm. This is the first, to the best of our knowledge, description of this type of laser emitting at the long-wavelength telecommunication band. Double-sided diamond heat spreaders were used to efficiently dissipate heat. Emission producing 1.2 W of power was demonstrated. We suggest that optimization of the laser has the potential to increase generated power.
