    This study introduces a novel two-dimensional laser array that overcomes the power-brightness trade-off in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The new design achieves high brightness for advanced photonics applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Laser Technology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • High-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) face a trade-off between output power and beam quality.
    • This limitation restricts their use in applications like remote sensing and large-area irradiation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a compact and efficient two-dimensional (2D) laser array to overcome the power-brightness limitations of traditional VCSELs.
    • To achieve high brightness and good beam quality for advanced laser applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 2D laser array utilizing a highly doped Nd:YVO4 crystal.
    • Implementation of a specialized cavity design to mitigate the thermal lensing effect.
    • Characterization of the laser array's performance, including wavelength, pulse energy, efficiency, brightness, and beam quality factors (M²).

    Main Results:

    • The laser array operates at a 1 µm wavelength, delivering 4.7 mJ pulse energy.
    • Achieved a high optical-to-optical (O-O) conversion efficiency of 52%.
    • Demonstrated a brightness of 1.27 kW·cm⁻²·sr⁻¹, significantly exceeding that of conventional 808 nm VCSEL arrays by three orders of magnitude. Individual emitter beam quality factors (M²) were measured at 1.41 (X-direction) and 1.48 (Y-direction).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 2D laser array successfully addresses the power-brightness challenge in VCSEL technology.
    • The laser power scales with array size, indicating significant potential for scalable, high-performance photonics applications.
    • This technology enables new possibilities in remote irradiation, detection, and other advanced optical systems.
