Abstract

The inherent features of quantum dot lasers like their higher wavelength stability compared to quantum well lasers and a reduced lateral carrier diffusion make them especially interesting for high power applications such as the pumping of rare earth lasers or fiber amplifiers. Quantum dot lasers have already been shown to have the potential for high power applications at different wavelengths.^1,2 We will present quantum dot lasers with improved high temperature properties.
