title = "Power scaling of high-power optically pumped semiconductor lasers for continuous wave and ultrashort pulse generation",
abstract = "We report on our research in power scaling OPSL around 1 μm to exceed 100W per chip by combining a rigorous quantum design of an optimized MQW epitaxial structure, highly accurate and reproducible wafer growth and an efficient thermal management strategy. Recently we have utilized these state-of-the-art optimized OPSL chips to achieve a new record for a mode-locked OPSL with an intra-cavity SESAM. The average output power of the laser in the optimum operation point of mode-locked operation was 5.1W while being pumped with 25W of net pump power. This corresponds to a pulse energy of 3 nJ and a pulse peak power of 3.8 kW.",
