High-power ridge-waveguide laser diodes and highly dense arrays with stable lateral far field based on them (1060nm)

Ridge-waveguide semiconductor lasers operating in CW up to 500 mW with one TE00 mode and up to 2 W with few TE modes at RT are demonstrated. Highly dense arrays with stable Gaussian lateral far field (10 emitters,
$200\ \mu\mathrm{m}$
total aperture) are shown to demonstrate 5 W in CW and 25 W in pulsed mode at RT.
