Highly Strained InGaAs/GaAs Multiwatt Vertical-External-Cavity Surface- Emitting Laser Emitting Around 1170nm (Postprint)

摘要

We develop and demonstrate a multiwatt highly strained InGaAs/GaAs vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser with a free lasing wavelength of around 1170 nm. This laser can be tuned from approximately 1147 to approximately 1197 nm. This low- cost compact wavelength agile laser can potentially provide high-power coherent light in a wide yellow-orange band by the intracavity frequency doubling.
