Abstract:
Tensile strained GaAsP quantum wells embedded in AlGaAs large optical cavity structure were investigated at an emission wavelength of 735 nm. 1.2-W continuous-wave operation for 100-µm stripe width diode lasers over 1000 h is reported. Experiments with different stripe widths showed a high stability at an output power of 12-mW/µm stripe widths with degradation rates below 5*10-5 h-1, i.e., lifetimes larger than 500 h than could be expected.
