MASTER OSCILLATOR GRATING COUPLED POWER AMPLIFIER WITH ANGLED AMPLIFIER SECTION

摘要

An apparatus includes a single-mode master-oscillator section and a power amplifier section. The single-mode master-oscillator section includes a waveguide defined by a first end and a second end, the first end including a first distributed Bragg reflector mirror, and the second end including a second distributed Bragg reflector mirror. The single-mode-master-oscillator section also has a first longitudinal axis. The power amplifier section is a broad-contact amplifier coupled to the single-mode-master-oscillator section by a coupling grating that is contained in the waveguide of the single-mode-master-oscillator section. The broad contact amplifier section includes a reflection side, an output side and a second longitudinal axis, the second longitudinal axis being at an angle approximately (90 DEG - beta ) to said first longitudinal axis, beta being in a range between 0 DEG and approximately 20 DEG .
