چکیده
We describe a method to frequency narrow multielement high-power diode bars. Using a commercial 60-W, 49-element, 1-cm-long diode array bar at 795 nm running at 45 W, we narrow the linewidth from 1000 to 64 GHz with only a loss of 33% in output power. The resulting laser light is well suited for spin-exchange optical pumping of noble gas nuclei.

Frequency-narrowed external-cavity diode-laser-array bar.
We demonstrate that appropriately designed external cavities can be used to frequency narrow high-power diode-array bars. Using a commercial 20-W array, we narrow the linewidth to 50 GHz with 14 W of cw output power. A magnifying telescope and a cylindrical collimating lens minimize broadening owing to curvature in the alignment of the diode-array elements.
متن کاملLocking and wavelength selection of an ultra-collimated single-mode diode laser bar by a volume holographic grating.
Wavelength-locking by a volume holographic grating (VHG) is reported for a diode laser bar with 49 single mode emitters, fitted with a dual-axis collimation phase-plate for smile elimination and excellent beam pointing correction. The much-improved VHG feedback with the ultra-collimated array beam gives 100% wavelength locking at 975 nm over a 17°C temperature range and external cavity lengths ...
متن کامل1450-nm high-brightness wavelength-beam combined diode laser array.
We have demonstrated wavelength beam combining of a 1450-nm diode laser array with a novel smile compensation method. We have achieved 20-W cw from a 25-element single bar with an M(2) of 1.9 (fast axis) x 10 (wavelength-beam-combined dimension).
متن کاملStudy of the Mechanism of "Smile" in High Power Diode Laser Arrays and Strategies in Improving NearField Linearity
High power diode lasers have found increased applications in pumping of solid state or fiber laser systems for industrial, military and medical applications as well as direct material processing applications. The non-linearity of the near-field of emitters (or the so called “smile” effect) in a laser diode array poses significant challenges in optical coupling and beam shaping and has become on...
متن کاملNarrow line width operation of a 980 nm gain guided tapered diode laser bar.
We demonstrate two different schemes for the spectral narrowing of a 12 emitter 980 nm gain guided tapered diode laser bar. In the first scheme, a reflective grating has been used in a Littman Metcalf configuration and the wavelength of the laser emission could be narrowed down from more than 5.5 nm in the free running mode to 0.04 nm (FWHM) at an operating current of 30 A with an output power ...
