The monolithic devices reach output powers up to 215 mW with emission widths of about 20 pm. At 200 mW the conversion efficiency is 20%, i.e. the electrical power consumption is only 1 W. The spectral distance between the two laser cavities is about 0.6 nm, i.e. 10 cm-1 as targeted. The side mode suppression ratio is better than 50 dB. Amplifying these devices using a ridge waveguide amplifier an output power of about 750 mW could be achieved maintaining the spectral properties of the master oscillator. |
