Spectrally Narrow Mid-Infrared Optically Pumped Lasers with Partial Surface DBR (Postprint)

Abstract

An optically pumped mid-infrared edge-emitting laser is described, in which a Distributed Bragg Reflector grating partially occupies the surface, and provides spectral narrowing in a high power device. A quasi-continuous-wave power of 3 Watts is obtained at 3.6 m that is contained within a spectral width of 7 nm.
