Abstract :
Increasing the brightness of high-power diode lasers is one of the key topics in today´s semiconductor laser development activities. More and more applications, like tunable frequency doubling of diode lasers for blue- green outputs, non linear spectroscopy, or pump laser sources for fiber lasers necessitate diffraction-limited tunable narrow linewidths and high output powers in the multiwatt regime. For these applications, tapered lasers based on a tapered amplifier with gain-guided design can be used in an external cavity set up to guarantee both - frequency stabilization and tenability (Walpole, 1996).
