  • Abstract
    A new GaAs/AlGaAs linear diode laser array with a packing density approaching 90% has been fabricated using chemically assisted ion beam etching. Results are presented for arrays which exhibit single-ended optically coated external quantum efficiencies of 71% and a maximum output power of 23 W (quasi-CW) from a 1 mm aperture.
