Abstract:
High-power quantum dot broad area lasers emitting at 980 nm are presented. Continuous-wave output powers of 4.3 W from a 50 µm stripe width laser and of 6.3 W from a 100 µm stripe width laser were achieved at 15°C.

Index Terms:
Amplified spontaneous emission, distributed feedback (DFB) laser, Green's function method.
