TransWave Photonics, in collaboration with University of California, Santa Barbara, proposes to develop a photonic integration platform where high power diode lasers and coherent beam combining elements are monolithically integrated with high efficiency. Our estimation shows that more than 100 W peak power and 1 GW/cm2/sr brightness are achievable by implementing phased laser arrays more than 16 elements. A path towards kW-level power generation with ultra-high brightness in our chip-scale combiner equipped with an efficient laser cooling system is provided.
