We have developed novel electrically pumped, surface-emithng lasers emitting at 980 nm with an extended coupled cavity. The concept is scalable from monolithic low power ("10 mW) devices all the way to high power extended cavity lasers. The latter have demonstrated 1 W cw multi-mode and 0.5 W cw in a TEM00 mode and a single frequency, with 90% coupling efficiency into a single-mode fiber. By inserting a nonlinear optical medium in the external cavity, efficient and compact frequency doubling has been achieved with CW output powers 5-40 mW demonstrated at 490 nm. The lafter devices are especially noteworthy due to their very low noise (0.05% rms from dc-2 MHz), sub 10 urad beam pointing stability combined with small size, low power consumption (<10 W) and high efficiency.
