Abstract

We present recent advances in high power semiconductor laser bars and arrays at near infrared and eye-safe wavelengths. We report on increased spectral brightness with internal gratings to narrow and stabilize the spectrum and increased spatial brightness in multimode and single mode devices. These devices have the potential to dramatically improve diode pumped systems and enable new direct diode applications.
