Laser/heterothyristor hybrid assemblies based on AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures for high-power and ns-laser-pulse-width operation

High-power lasers and mini diode laser bars based on AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures (1060 nm) demonstrate high-efficient generation of pulses with durations in the range of 1-100 ns. It is shown that the use of heterothyristor arrays increases the pump current and output optical power.
