Monolithic Dual-Wavelength High-Power Laser Diode with Window-Mirror Structure

Monolithic dual-wavelength high-power laser diode is strongly required by DVD-R/CD-R dual optical disc drives for the purpose of not only cost reduction but also drive size minimization. In this paper, we will report on a newly developed monolithic dual-wavelength laser diode with output power exceeding 350mW from DVD and CD elements.
