In-phase output beam from broad-area diode array using Talbot ca...

The robust phase locking of a linear diode array consisting of 49 broad-area emitters was demonstrated. The single lobe in the far field with output power of 0.83 W was observed. The far-field divergence was reduced to 2.0 mrad. The spectral bandwidth was reduced from 1.7 to 0.13 nm.
