SEMICONDUCTOR LASER ARRAY TECHNIQUES (SEMLAT).
Abstract
The primary objective of the program was to determine the feasibility of a cascaded semiconductor array amplification scheme. The results of an extensive materials investigation led to a further understanding of many of the factors relating GaAs material characteristics to laser diode performance. A system comprised of a GaAs master oscillator laser driving two linear ten-diode amplifying arrays was constructed. The system was evaluated by the performance of a cascaded two-element beam amplification experiment. The results of this experiment successfully demonstrated the feasibility of coherent cascaded array amplification.
