Abstract
The main challenge to address single emitters in a high-power diode-laser-bar is the thermal and electrical management to avoid crosstalking. Especially p-side up assembly leads to increasing thermal influence of neighbouring emitters due to the low thermal conductivity of GaAs. Electro-magnetic fields inside and outside the laser-bar, for example caused by high frequency modulation (10 MHz) at a high current (up to 1 A), induce voltages into neighbouring electric circuits, hence the output power of neighbouring emitters can be affected.
