Abstract

High-power 2.3-μm In(Al)GaAsSb-GaSb type-I double quantum-well diode laser arrays were fabricated and characterized. Linear laser arrays with 19 100-μm-wide elements on a 1-cm-long bar generated 10 W in continuous-wave (CW) mode and 18.5 W in quasi-CW mode (30 μs/300 Hz) at a heatsink temperature of 18/spl deg/C. Array power conversion efficiency peaked at 30 A and was about 9%. Device internal efficiency was about 50%. Individual laser differential gain with respect to current was about twice as high as in InP-based laser heterostructures, demonstrating the potential of GaSb-based material system for high-power CW room-temperature laser diode arrays.
