Abstract

Design issues relating to high-power broad-area semiconductor lasers are reviewed. Device optimization is performed using a phenomenological model. This model provides a simple means of predicting the laser performance and assessing a high-power laser design. Emphases are placed on parameters that impact the power conversion efficiency,junction temperature, optical intensity, and near field uniformity.
