Abstract

2 μm high-power GaSb-based type-I quantum well diode lasers were fabricated in this study. Under direct current, the output power of the lasers with uncoated cavity length of 2 mm and 100-μm-wide ridge is about 0.533 W with injection current of 3 A. The maximum conversion efficiency of single emitter is 12.67%. Under pulse current, the output power is 1.946 W with injection current of 14 A of 1 kHz and 5% duty cycle. The output power of the laser with coated cavity is increased to 2.466 W with injection pulsed current of 16 A.
