Abstract
A slab coupled optical waveguide laser (SCOWL) is characterized. An n-type AlGaAs waveguide is used. Two distinctly different beam combination approaches are employed: wavelength beam combination (WBC) and coherent beam combination (CBC). The cavity configuration for the WBC and CBC are presented.
