Tapered Amplifier for MOPA Setups
1490 to 1530 nm, 500 mW, Passive Cooling
InP-based tapered amplifiers are used for the amplification of an existing seed laser. The seed power between 30 mW and 60 mW can be amplified up to nearly diffraction-limited power values of 500 mW. Such a setup is called MOPA (Master Oszillator Power Amplifier). The rear facet and the front facet are both provided with an anti-reflection coating of less than 0.01% to avoid laser action of the amplifier chip itself. Tapered amplifiers and lasers can be used for free space optical communication, sensing, and athmospheric or automotive LiDAR.
