Asymmetrical prism for beam shaping of laser diode stacks.

A beam-shaping scheme for a laser diode stack to obtain a flattop output intensity profile is proposed. The shaping element consists of an asymmetrical glass prism. The large divergence-angle compression in the direction perpendicular to the junction plane and the small divergence-angle expansion in the parallel direction are performed simultaneously by a single shaping element. The transformation characteristics are presented, and the optimization performance is investigated based on the ray-tracing method. Analysis shows that a flattop intensity profile can be obtained. This beam-shaping system can be fabricated easily and has a large alignment tolerance.

Far-field expression of a high-power laser diode.

Based on the off-axis theory, a model for describing the far field with the bipeak structure of a high-power laser diode is proposed. The computed results agree well with the measured far-field data of practical devices. A minimum overall error criterion for fitting the theoretical model with the measured data is also given. The results show that the overall error of this model is less than 5% for popular laser diodes. This model has a simple mathematical structure and can be easily used to design the beam-shaping system and to analyze the propagation properties when the laser beam passes through an optic system.

Coupling light from a laser diode into a multimode fiber.

A parabolalike fiber end to couple the light from a high-power laser diode into a multimode fiber is presented. The formula for the coupling efficiency of such a system is given, and numerical evaluation shows that the theoretical coupling efficiency can be as high as 92% without an antireflection coating on the fiber's end face. This beam-shaping system can be fabricated easily and has a large alignment tolerance.
