Description

This Phase 2 program seeks to demonstrate and deliver chip-on-submount tapered diode laser devices operating in the 9xx-10xx nm band and based on our high power epitaxy in this wavelength range.  The scope of work includes simulation, design, growth, fabrication, bond and test.  Two rounds of development are planned over the 24 month effort.  We will be doing FAC lens attach on these devices as well as performing a small (~20 unit) step stress accelerated lifetest.  No facet passivation is anticipated.  The technical objective at the end of the program is >10W, >63% E/O with M2 < 1.1.
