High-power pulsed hybrid semiconductor lasers emitting in the wavelength range 900–920 nm

High-power hybrid semiconductor lasers-thyristors ($\lambda$ = 900 – 920 nm) consisting of thyristor crystals soldered in series with an integrated semiconductor laser with three emitting sections are studied. A monolithic laser-thyristor with three emitting sections is used as a reference sample. The output power of the triple monolithically integrated laser-thyristor is $\sim$120 W at a turn-on voltage of 18 V. The turn-on voltage of a hybrid laser–thyristor with three emitting sections is 28 V, and the peak output power reaches $\sim$170 W.
