The primary objective of this program is to develop a phase-locked laser diode array that can deliver output power greater than 200 mW. The diode should have long life and be capable of modulated bandwidths greater than 500 MHZ. The output beam should be able to be collimated to within one milliradian so that it is suitable for long distance space communication. The Phase I effort investigates two different structures of laser diode arrays. One is the planer large optical cavity laser array and the other is a laser array based on a high power CNS-DCC-LOC single mode laser. Laser arrays with stripes numbering between three to ten are investigated for both cases. It is believed both structures will yield devices that meet the stated requirements.
