Abstract
A monolithically integrated array of InGaAs/AlGaAs flared amplifiers d riven by a single DBR laser through a power splitter network is descri bed. This architecture is capable of providing single-mode, diffractio n-limited performance from each emitter and is scalable to unprecedent ed power levels. Over 20 W of pulsed, spectrally coherent emission is generated at 955 nm from a 4-element array, and 39 W is obtained from an 8-element array.
