Abstract
We present advances in InGaN-based laser diodes, photodiodes, and systems leveraging these devices. A wide range of laser diode (LD) innovations will be reviewed including high power blue and violet LDs, ultrashort cavity LDs, and the potential for a manufacturable distributed feedback LDs. In addition, we present advances in photodiodes for optical power transfer and communication, andsystems enabled by these devices will be discussed. This new class of GaN devices and systems are applicable to a wide variety of applications including: AR/VR, HUDs, non-lethal deterrents, undersea and spaced-based optical communication & power transfer, directed energy, rangefinding, LIDAR and quantum computing.
