Visible InGan Injection Lasers (VIGIL)

Abstract

(U)The objective of the Visible InGan Injection Lasers (VIGIL) program was to demonstrate injection lasers emitting in the green wavelength. The specific program goal was to demonstrate continuous wave green injection lasers operating at room temperature with a power output up to 1 watt, wall plug efficiency of thirty percent, and laser output stability over time periods of at least 1000 hours. VIGIL lasers will enable applications requiring a close match between the wavelength of the light source and the peak response wavelength of the human eye. Another class of applications will take advantage of the minimum absorption of seawater in the blue-green spectral region. Other applications include miniaturized displays and pumps for generation of high-frequency mode-locked combs.
