Abstract
Integrated linear injection-laser arrays were made from AlGaAs/GaAs he terostructures grown by MOCVD epitaxy. The total width of the emitting surface was 1 cm and the arrays were intended for the pumping of soli d-state lasers. The watt-ampere characteristics, the overall efficienc y, the emission spectra, and the shape of the light pulses emitted by the arrays were investigated in the 0.1 - 1 ms range of the pump pulse durations, best for the optical pumping of solid-state lasers. The ma ximum pulse power of 70 W, obtained for a current of 80 A, was limited by the source used to pump the injection lasers.
