Narrow-beam high-power twin-channel laser with reduced sidelobes
Abstract
A method is described for improving the lateral mode stability of twin-channel lasers by reducing both the channel width and the interelement spacing. This results in improved yields of high-power lasers with single-lobe far-field distributions. These far-field patterns exhibit almost no sidelobes, a fact that can be explained by the reduced dimensions.
