Abstract :
100 μm-wide, 1 mm-long, 0.805 μm-emitting, Al-free active region diode lasers with 10%/90% AR/HR facet coatings provide 6.1 W cw power at a heat sink temperature of T=10°C. The corresponding internal power density at COMD, P¯COMD, is ~15 MW/cm2; almost twice the P¯COMD value, ~8 MW/cm2, for similarly designed AlGaAs based devices
