Abstract

This paper provides information about the basic technology of high power diode lasers and their applications in a tutorial way. Each step from the milli-watt laser light generation in the pn-transition to the multi-kilo-watt laser system is explained. Typical applications of high power diode lasers, some of them already in industrial manufacturing, are described.
