    Notes: The time dependence of catastrophic optical damage (COD) was studied for the cw operation of AlGaAs single quantum well lasers with cleaved mirrors. An empirical rule is proposed, which yields the time for a COD failure in the form of a rate equation, containing a frequency factor and an activation energy. In this way COD is explained as a thermally activated process, depending on the mirror temperature.

    Notes: The time dependence of catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD) is investigated for cw operation of AlGaAs-GaAs quantum well lasers. The apparent Arrhenius parameters (i.e., the activation energy and pre-exponential factor) for the rate process leading to COMD are determined. In particular, we compare the rate process for various cleaved facets with and without a subsequent plasma oxidation step. Analysis of the experimental Arrhenius parameters indicates that surface reactions on the corroded facets are responsible for facet degradation accompanied by heating. A tentative model of the facet heating that ultimately leads to COMD is presented.

    Notes: The high-power integrity of strained single quantum well InGaAs/AlGaAs lasers grown by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated. In the high-power regime, the lifetime of the Lz=7 nm strained quantum well laser emitting at (approximately-equal-to) 980 nm is found to be limited by the air-cleaved facets. However, a comparison with lattice-matched 7 nm quantum well GaAs/AlGaAs lasers, which otherwise have an almost identical vertical structure shows a substantial lifetime improvement. This indicates that lattice hardening due to the indium in the quantum well is effective in the facet region. The investigations demonstrate the feasibility of 150 mW single mode operation with sufficient lifetime for practical applications in the wavelength range of (approximately-equal-to)1 μm.

    Notes: A monolithic ring resonator of KNbO3 was used for efficient frequency doubling of a 856 nm GaAlAs diode laser. A special electronic servo technique was devised to lock the diode laser frequency to the KNbO3 cavity so that stable generation of blue output was obtained. With 105 mW of incident near-infrared power, 41 mW of 428 nm radiation were produced. The conversion efficiency from electrical input power into the diode laser to blue output was ∼10%.
