Monolithic Diode-Laser Arrays [E-Book] / by Nils W. Carlson.
Over the last two decades, the search for a compact, high-power semiconductor source has produced many designs and concepts for monolithic diode-laser arrays and optical amplifiers. However, only a few design approaches have emerged with the potential for producing high-power, high-brightness monoli...
