Abstract

We propose a grating semi-feedback external cavity (GSFEC) scheme for high-power broad-area laser diodes for improving the spectrum characteristics of high-power semiconductor lasers. We design this scheme as two crossed cylindrical resonators employing a holographic diffraction grating and a rectangular highly reflecting mirror. In our experiments, we obtain stable spectrum characteristics over a tuning range of 5 nm, with maximum output power up to 764 mW at an operating current of 3.5 A. The wavelength drift rate with injection current decreases from 0.59 nm/A of free-running condition to 0.2 nm/A, and the laser bandwidth is compressed to 21.5% at 2 A.
