High-power semiconductor laser diodes based on multiple InGaAs/GaAs quantum
-dot layers grown by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition are demonstrat
ed. The devices exhibit a peak power of 3 W (4.5 W) at 1100 nm (1068 nm), r
espectively, during pulsed operation at room temperature and show slope eff
iciencies of 57% (66%). (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951
