Abstract
High-energy compact picosecond pulse sources are required for applications as varied as LIDAR, free space communications, spectroscopy, and the pumping of nonlinear optical systems. Bow-Tie diode lasers offer an economic source for higher power, spatially monomode light, overcoming many of the limitations that are imposed by gain saturation in conventional narrow stripe lasers.1 Under Q-switched operation, for example, record 100 pJ, 15 ps pulses have already been generated.2
