Abstract

A broad-area AlGaAs SQW-SCH laser diode for side-pumping exhibits the maxmum outputpower of 2.6W in the absorption band of a Nd: YAG under CW conditions. Another broad-area laser diode with a modal reflector consisting of partially high-reflective coating for end-pumping operates at the maximum output-power of 0.4W under CW condtions with keeping the fundamental lateral mode.
