Abstract:
In a WBC system of the present disclosure, an LD bar array constituted by a plurality of LD bars is configured such that a main axis direction of an off-angle of at least one LD bar is reversed with respect to a main axis direction of an off-angle of the other LD bar. By doing so, even in the LD bar in which a wavelength distribution in a wafer exists, a difference between a designed lock wavelength and a gain peak wavelength can be kept within a range where an LD oscillation due to an external resonance is possible for all emitters in the LD bar, thereby an output in the WBC system can be maximized.
