Abstract :
We present optically pumped semiconductor disk lasers with a thin dielectric layer placed between the semiconductor distributed Bragg reflector and the metallization interface. The thin dielectric layer is shown to introduce negligible penalty to the thermal resistance of the device while allowing high reflectivity with a reduced number of distributed Bragg reflector layer pairs.
