Techniques for high-power laser array beam combination processes involving photo-refractive materials are reviewed. Details of an all semiconductor laser scheme for the amplification and subsequent photorefractive beam clean-up of a diffraction limited single-mode laser output is presented. Powers in excess of 100 mW (>220 mW accounting for Fresnel losses) are obtained in a diffraction limited signal beam, corresponding to an array to diffraction limited beam transfer efficiency of 33%. Details of a reflection geometry phase conjugate master oscillator-power amplifier scheme which offers the possibility of power scaling between a number of high-power semiconductor laser amplifiers are presented. Using this technique, a 13-dB amplification of a diffraction limited signal beam is obtained using a commercially available, 10-stripe gain-guided device with no special coatings.

ABSTRACTIn parallel with the effort to improve the efficiency of Quantum cascade lasers (QCL) for high power continuous wave (CW) operations, the peak power in pulsed mode operation can be easily scaled up with larger emitting volumes, i.e., processing QCLs into broad area lasers. However, as the emitter width increases, multi-mode operation happens due to poorer lateral mode distinguishability. By putting a two dimensional photonic crystal distributed feedback (PCDFB) layer evanescently coupled to the main optical mode, both longitudinal and lateral beam coherence can be greatly enhanced, which makes single mode operation possible for broad area devices. For PCDFB laser performance, the linewidth enhancement factor (LEF) plays an important role in controlling the optical coherence. Being intersubband devices, QCLs have an intrinsically small LEF, thus serves better candidates over interband lasers for PCDFB applications. We demonstrate electrically pumped, room temperature, single mode operation of photonic crystal distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers emitting at λ ∼ 4.75 μm. Ridge waveguides of 50 μm and 100 μm width were fabricated with both PCDFB and Fabry-Perot feedback mechanisms. The Fabry-Perot device has a broad emitting spectrum and a broad far-field character. The PCDFB devices have primarily a single spectral mode and a diffraction limited far field characteristic with a full angular width at half-maximum of 4.8 degrees and 2.4 degrees for the 50 μm and 100 μm ridge widths, respectively.
