Abstract

One-dimensional photonic crystal lasers emitting in the 850 nm range show high internal quantum efficiencies of 93% and very narrow vertical beam divergence of 7.1° (full width at half maximum). 50 μm broad area lasers with unpassivated facets exhibit a high total output power of nearly 20 W in pulsed mode with a divergence of 9.5°×11.3° leading to a record brightness of 3×108 W cm−2 sr−1, being presently the best value ever reported for a single broad area laser diode. 100 μm broad devices with unpassivated facets show continuous wave operation with an output power of 1.9 W.
