Description
Fiber-lasers are much less efficient than direct diode lasers because of photon energy defects and coupling losses, but low power-per-emitter, poor beam quality and uncontrolled spectra precludes the direct use of diodes in directed-energy lasers. We will apply our Master Oscillator Power Amplifier technology to the fabrication of highly efficient, reliable, diffraction-limited, single-frequency diodes with tens of Watts per emitter and which are suitable for beam combining.
