abstract = {High power amplifiers are critical components in optical
systems spanning from long range optical sensing and optical
communication systems to micromachining and medical surgery.
Today, integrated photonics with its promise of large
reductions in size, weight and cost cannot be used in these
applications, due to the lack of on-chip high power
amplifiers. Integrated devices severely lack in output power
due to their small size which limits energy storage
capacity. For the last two decades, large mode area (LMA)
technology has played a disruptive role in fiber amplifiers
enabling a dramatic increase of output power and energy by
orders of magnitude. Thanks to the capability of LMA fiber
to support significantly larger optical modes the energy
storage and power handling capability has significantly
increased. Therefore, an LMA device on an integrated
platform can play a similar role in power and energy scaling
of integrated devices. In this work, we demonstrate LMA
waveguide-based CMOS compatible watt-class high power
amplifiers with an on-chip output power reaching beyond ~ 1
W within a footprint of only ~ 4 mm2. The power achieved is
comparable and even surpasses many fiber-based amplifiers.
We believe this work has the potential to radically change
the integrated photonics application landscape, allowing
power levels previously unimaginable from an integrated
device replacing much of today’s benchtop systems.
Moreover, mass producibility, reduced size, weight and cost
will enable yet unforeseen applications for laser
technology.},
