High Energy Laser Direct Diode Applied Technology
Abstract
This effort designs and develops single mode diode emitters to increase output power to 100 Watts with >60% electrical-to-optical efficiency and develop packaging for an array of emitters. This effort will also design and develop a 100 kW-class laser subsystem with 58% E-O efficiency and 80% fractional PIB; validated in a lab setting. This effort will leverage industry and National Labs research to overcome gain limitations through implementing innovative techniques to control the current across the contact in the semi-conductor gain region. Higher power 10s of watts single mode emitters are necessary to make significant improvements to the SWaP of laser subsystems.
