Abstract :
100 μm-stripe lasers with a tensile-strained GaAsyP 1-y quantum well embedded in a low-loss AlGaAs large-optical-cavity structure provide a record-high CW power of 7 W at 735 nm from 2 mm-long devices. The transverse beam pattern has a narrow 25° beamwidth. Reliability tests at the 0.5 W CW power level suggest lifetimes >104 h
