    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Semiconductor Lasers

    Background:

    • Slab coupled optical waveguide lasers (SCOWLs) offer high power and excellent beam quality.
    • Current SCOWLs exhibit suboptimal power conversion efficiency (PCE) around 40% compared to other laser types.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To theoretically optimize SCOWL structure for improved electrical-optical power conversion efficiency (PCE).
    • To address limitations in current SCOWL designs hindering higher PCE.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical structure optimization of SCOWLs.
    • Reducing aluminum (Al) content in the waveguide structure.
    • Increasing doping concentration and incorporating a graded-index (GRIN) layer to mitigate carrier leakage.

    Main Results:

    • Numerical simulations predict a maximum PCE of approximately 57% for the optimized SCOWL design.
    • The proposed optimizations are expected to significantly boost SCOWL performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimized SCOWL designs demonstrate potential for substantially higher PCE.
    • These advancements could make SCOWLs more competitive for high-power laser applications.
