Abstract
940 nm laser bars with a vertical divergence of 27/spl deg/ (FWHM) and a filling factor of 30% were operated on passively cooled heatsinks at 25/spl deg/C. The maximum output power was 95 W, the maximum wall-plug efficiency was 73% at 70 W. Reliable CW and quasi-CW operation up to 98 W was demonstrated.
