Abstract
Design optimization of single emitter broad stripe 900-nm laser diodes was experimentally studied to achieve high power conversion efficiency (PCE) for a use in fiber laser systems. We chose two approaches for PCE improvement. The first is an optical confinement factor Γwell optimization which affects threshold current and internal loss. The second is electric resistance minimization to suppress unwanted power consumption causing heat generation. As a result, the newly designed LD successfully demonstrates the high PCE of 72.5 % at middle power range and 66.7 % at practical high power of 20 W.
