Abstract
Record pulse energy (E similar to 0.3 mu J) is reported for a gain-swi tched laser diode stack with subnanosecond electrical pump pulses, Pul sewidths near 100 ps are seen to be feasible, A detailed time-resolved analysis of emitted near-field patterns is presented, which provides guidelines for further improvements in time performances, A stack desi gn for pulsed laser diodes of high energy is discussed.
