Abstract

High power semiconductor laser diodes from the Matsushita Electronics Corporation have been selected by TRW for use in the NASA space laser communications experiments. Three 70 mW buried twin ridge substrate (BTRS) GaA lAs lasers, operating in a band of wavelengths near 870 nm, will be outfitted with an external cavity "third" mirror element and coaligned using narrow bandpass filters. Diode selection criteria, design features, and measured performance data will be discussed.
