The gain chip consists of 15 repeats of In0.26GaAs/GaAsP0.02 multiple quantum wells and 30 pairs of Alo.2GaAs/Alo.98GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors. The maximum output power of 3 W, optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 22.4%, and slope efficiency of 29.8% are obtained with 5-℃ heatsink temperature under the front pump, while the maximum output power of 1.1 W, optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 23.2%, and slope efficiency of 30.8% are reached with 5-℃ heatsink temperature under the end pump. Influences of thermal effects on the output power of the laser with front and end pump are discussed.展开更多
