Abstract

Abstract: A triple laser – thyristor, i. e., a semiconductor laser with three emitting sections monolithically integrated with an electronic switch (thyristor) is experimentally studied. For comparison, the output characteristics of single and double laser – thyristors are presented. It is shown that the functional integration of a laser with a thyristor in one heterostructure allows the laser to efficiently operate in a pulsed regime (output power ∼50 W), the use of vertical integration of two laser sections increases the power to ∼90 W, and the integration of three laser sections makes it possible to increase the output optical power to ∼120 W with all other conditions being the same.
