Abstract :
High-power diode lasers (HPDL) benefit from a high wall-plug efficiency, high optical power, sound reliability & long lifetime, low investment costs and a comparatively small footprint. Aside from the established wavelengths for HPDL in the range from around 800-1000 nm, developments in epitaxial processes and new substrate materials have enabled the production of HPDL for new wavelengths. In addition to these developments, advances in the process of facet passivation have improved the quality and reliability of HPDL.
