High power diode lasers emitting at wavelengths between 1.85µm and 3.0µm open up a wide range of applications as compact and efficient light sources in the fields of pumping of solid state1 and optically pumped semiconductor lasers2 emitting in the 2-4µm regime, laser surgery3 , laser drying processes as well as direct materials processing such as plastics or aqueous varnish processing4 . For all these applications output powers in the multiwatt range, high wall-plug efficiencies and small far field widths are preferable for practical purposes due to optics and fiber coupling demands. Therefore, there is a strong request to improve the brightness, means the power per emitting area, of existing diode lasers in this wavelength range.
