The epitaxial growth conditions and performance of a diode-pumped GaSb-based optically pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) emitting near 2.0 μm in an external cavity configuration are reported. The high quality epitaxial structure, grown on Te-doped (001) oriented GaSb substrate by molecular beam epitaxy, consists of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), a multi-quantum-well gain region, and a window layer. An intra-cavity SiC heat spreader was attached to the gain chip for effective thermal management. A continuous-wave output power of over 1 W operating at 2.03 μ wavelength operating near room temperature was achieved using a 3% output coupler.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
