MONOLITHIC OPTICALLY PUMPED HIGH POWER SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS AND AMPLIFIERS

摘要

The present invention, a monolithic, high power, single mode electro-optic device is disclosed. The electro-optic device generally includes an electrically pumped device with a pn junction and an optically pumped device evanescently coupled to the electrically pumped device. In operation the electrically pumped device is driven by an external source into a high energy state to emit photons at a first wavelength. The optically pumped device is at a low energy state so as to absorb the emitted photons and re-radiated light at a second wavelength.
