R. Spring et al., INDIVIDUAL HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL-ELEMENT FOR OUTPUT-EMISSION IMPROVEMENT OF A DIODE-LASER ARRAY, Helvetica Physica Acta, 67(2), 1994, pp. 221-222
An individual Holographic Optical Element (HOE) for a diode-laser arra
y is recorded using the 813 nm diode output emission itself. The HOE t
ransforms the emission pattern of the diode-laser array into that of a
diffraction limited single stripe emitter. The feasibility of this me
thod is demonstrated.
