HIGH POWER SINGLE MODE SEMICONDUCTOR LASER

摘要

A single-mode semiconductor diode laser includes a single-mode section, a tapered mode-transformer section coupled to the single-mode section, and a power-supply section coupled to the tapered mode transformer section. The power-supply section has a second width larger than the width of the single-mode section. The tapered mode-transformer section is characterized in that optical energy from said single-mode section adiabatically couples to the power-supply section through the mode-transformer section.
