We demonstrated the fabrication of 10 emitters InGaN laser diode array of the maximum output power of 9 W at 420 nm. The device as a whole has the differential efficiency of above 1 W/A. The maximum output power is limited to 9 W (pulse operation) by catastrophic mirror damage or to around 5 W in CW operation by thermal roll-over. Larger arrays with stripes width of around 15 µm and numbers of emitters up to 20 should enable reaching 20 W, which is suitable for light engine of desktop projectors and a building block of cinema theater projectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
