Abstract
A numerical model for flared semiconductor optical amplifiers is prese nted that incorporates the effects of gain and index saturation and th ermal effects. Theoretical near fields, far fields, and quadratically phase-corrected far fields are presented. The results indicate that fl ared semiconductor laser amplifiers are capable of coherent diffractio n-limited out-put powers in excess of 1 W CW.
