abstract = {High power sources are desired in integrated photonics to
utilize their full potential for various applications such
as in telecom, medical, and remote sensing. However, the
signal power from the integrated photonic sources has been
quite limited. One of the main reasons for this is the usage
of small optical mode area waveguides, which, although they
help in keeping the footprint small and increasing the gain
efficiency, limit the energy storage and extraction
capability of the signal from an integrated device, thus
limiting the output power. By increasing the optical mode
area, one allows the photons to interact with a
significantly larger number of gain ions, allowing large
energy storage and power extraction. In light of this, we
show a high-power continuous wave laser based on a recently
demonstrated large-mode-area gain waveguide, which requires
no external amplifier. The maximum power generated from the
distributed Bragg reflector laser is close to 1.35 W with a
slope efficiency of more than $50\%,$ and it operates around
the long wavelength window (∼1.85 μm) relevant for
medical, space, and defense applications. The power level
demonstrated here enables silicon photonics based continuous
wave light sources comparable to their benchtop counterparts
and brings them significantly closer to mass production and
deployment for desired applications.},
