The junction down mounting attached to a Si-submount with Au-Si solder has been shown to be very reliable for lasers by aging tests of 5 mW at 80° C. The thermal resistance of this junction down mounting is 30 K/W smaller than that of a junction up mounting. Output powers as high as cw 80 mW/stripe, corresponding to 400 mW, was realized without saturation with a five-stripe phase-locked laser array with an inner-stripe configuration assembled on this mounting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
