Abstract:
An optically pumped InGaN-GaN surface-emitting laser with external cavity emitting at 393 nm has been realized. The peak output power is 300W, the slope efficiency 3.5%, and the threshold pump power density 700 kW/cm2. Critical parameters in the design of the laser will be discussed and ways to improve the performance will be suggested.
