X. Wang et al., 1.5W CW SPATIALLY COHERENT POWER FROM REGROWN-LENS-TRAIN (RLT) UNSTABLE RESONATOR SEMICONDUCTOR-LASERS, Electronics Letters, 31(18), 1995, pp. 1571-1573
CW operation of regrown-lens-train (RLT) unstable resonator semiconduc
tor lasers has been demonstrated in an improved laser design. Up to 1.
5W of coherent CW power was obtained with a beam divergence 4 times th
at of a perfectly dittraction limited device.
