We report on the design of a compact master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) diode laser architecture at 828 nm suitable for direct-detection LIDARs, specifically applied to water vapor differential absorption LIDARs. Coherent beam combination of two pulsed high-brightness tapered amplifiers (1 s, 10 kHz), seeded by a DBR laser diode, is demonstrated. The phase dynamics during the pulses have been thoroughly investigated. The main limitation to the CBC efficiency is quantified. The maximum combined pulse energy reaches 10.3 J with combining efficiency above 82% ± 5%.

Background: Hip instability following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is among the most common indications for revision surgery. The implantation of dual-mobility (DM) systems, designed to improve stability, continues to rise, and thus, characterizing in vivo implant damage modes is paramount.
Methods: Under an implant retrieval protocol, 51 DM THA systems were analyzed.
Tapered diode lasers, composed of an index-guided ridge waveguide and a gain-guided tapered amplifier, are affected by polarization mismatch between the ridge and tapered sections. Beam quality deterioration is caused by TM high-order modes generated in the ridge section. Under high current injection, these TM modes are further amplified in the tapered section due to polarization mismatch, leading to a decrease in the laser output brightness.

We are able to magnetically confine more than 2.2 × 10 fermions ( = 9/2 , = 9/2) and 1.

The SOA has a confinement factor that can be varied by a waveguide design only, and thus the gain, loss, and saturation can be tailored along the light propagation direction. By using a tapered waveguide, the SOA can be designed for high gain at the input and high saturation at the output.
