摘要
A grating-coupled surface-emitting semiconductor laser has been integrated with a focusing diffractive beam forming element. A hyperbolic unstable resonator is used to introduce mode discrimination and suppress filamentation in a broad geometry, resulting in a 200-mu m-wide coherent output. The light is focused 500 mu m above the laser surface to a spot size of 5 x 7 mu m A remarkable beam stability is observed with very small spot size variation and beam-steering up to three times the threshold current under continuous operation.
