Abstract
We have fabricated 1240nm GaInNAs high-power semiconductor laser diodes. In pulsed operation 1000 mu m x 100 mu m laser diodes show record low threshold current densities of 174 Acm(-2). Continuous wave output powers exceeding 4.6Watts at room temperature and 6.2Watts at a heatsink temperature of -5 degrees C are obtained from 1300 mu m x 200 mu m devices. The maximum wallplug efficiency of the device exceeds 40% and the internal quantum efficiency reaches 0.89. Preliminary lifetime tests were performed for about 1000 h and show stable high-power operation. c 2007 Optical Society of America.
