Research abstract

SPECTRA DIODE LABORATORIES PROPOSES TO DEVELOP NOVEL HIGHER POWER, HIGHER BRIGTHNESS QUANTUM WELL LASER DIODES ARRAYS OR BROAD AREA LASERS THAT CAN ALSO OPERATE UP TO TEMPERATURE LEVELS OF 125 C DEGREE. A GOAL DEVICE WOULD BE CAPABLE OF, FOR EXAMPLE, EMITTING 3 W cw OUTPUT POWER FROM A 100 um 10 ELEMENT LASER ARRAY OR 300 mW cw FROM A 3 um WIDE SIMGLE MODE LASER. THESE LEVELS ARE 2 TO 3 TIMES THE BRIGTHNESS AND POWER OF TODAY'S DEVICES. ALSO, THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF TODAY'S DEVICES IS 30 C DEGREE TO 50 C DEGREE. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE QUANTUM WELL LASER STRUCTURE, MATERIALS, AND IN LASER MIRROR TECHNOLOGY ARE USED TO ACHIEVE THESE RESULTS.
