Fiber-Coupled Open Heat Sink High-Power Laser Diode

Broad-area laser diodes (also referred to as broad-emitter semiconductor lasers, broad-stripe or broad-emitter laser diodes, single-emitter laser diodes, and high-brightness diode lasers) are edge-emitting laser diodes in which the emission area on the front facet is shaped as a broad stripe.Since the emitter is asymmetric, the beam properties differ in the two orthogonal directions.
