Abstract :
Monolithically integrated master oscillator power amplifiers (M-MOPA) have been fabricated consisting of a single mode distributed Bragg reflector oscillator coupled to a chain of nine single mode amplifiers and detuned second order grating output couplers. The M-MOPA emits in excess of 1 W in a coherent, single longitudinal mode, beam.
