Abstract

The coherent operation of one-dimensional linear arrays of grating-coupled surface-emitting lasers is experimentally investigated, for different laser designs (gain lengths, grating parameters. For laser arrays with shallow grating teeth and strong interelement coupling, a diffraction-limited far field of 0.012 deg FWHM was obtained from up to six coupled lasers extending over a length of 3.5 mm.
