摘要
We present a beam-shaping technique to enhance emitting power density for a high-power laser-diode array stack. By use of a stripe mirror and a high-reflection mirror, the laser source height of 42 mm is folded to 21 mm and the emitting power density is increased to 365 W/cm(2) from a raw emitting power density of 194 W/cm(2). Moreover, the beam parameter product (BPP) that is used to evaluate the beam quality is effectively improved to 168-mm mrad from a raw BPP of 336-mm mrad in the fast axis for the collimated high-power laser-diode array stack.
