Abstract
The authors report near-diffraction-limited high power (similar to 1 W ), single longitudinal mode emission from a 960 - 980 nm tunable CW di ode laser. consisting of an unstable resonator tapered amplifier struc ture In a grating-tuned external cavity. > 3 W output powers were obta ined near the gain peak (similar to 970 nm) from the grating-tuned dio de laser in a quasi-CW mode (500 mu s, 100 Hz) of operation.
