Abstract

Antiguide laser arrays have demonstrated near-diffraction-limited emission at CW power levels approaching 1 Watt under CW conditions, and up to approximately 10 Watts under short-pulse conditions. In this paper, the fundamental mode of operation is reviewed, and current high-power results are reported, including up to 32 Watts of peak power under short- pulse operations.
