High-power, diffraction-limited-beam operation from interferometric phase-locked arrays of AlGaAs/GaAs diode lasers

10/11-element interferometric phase-locked arrays with optimized facet coatings operate in array mode L=8, diffraction limited to 200 mW at 2.7 times threshold, and in beam patterns 1.4 times the diffraction limit to 290 mW at 4.3 times threshold. Unlike Y-junction-coupled arrays, the beam pattern q...

Zusammenfassung:10/11-element interferometric phase-locked arrays with optimized facet coatings operate in array mode L=8, diffraction limited to 200 mW at 2.7 times threshold, and in beam patterns 1.4 times the diffraction limit to 290 mW at 4.3 times threshold. Unlike Y-junction-coupled arrays, the beam pattern quality is not sensitive to the facet(s) reflectivity value(s). Transformation to a single-lobe pattern requires a simple phase-corrector coating or plate. The device beam pattern as a function of the array geometry is discussed.
