1. Introduction
The
MOGL
abs
MSA
is a semiconductor laser amplifier with injection seed
laser (fig. 1.1). The heart of the system is the amplifier block (fig. 1.2) with
semiconductor tapered amplifier (
TA
) diode. A cylindrical lens provides
astigmatism compensation and Faraday isolators protect the
TA
diode, as
well as preventing the amplifier output from disturbing the seed laser.

Schematic diagram of major components in the
MSA
.
The
MOA
is an amplifier-only configuration of the
MSA
, without built-in
seed laser. There are two smaller versions of the
MOA
; the
MOA(L)
with
one isolator on the
TA
output and the compact
MOA(C)
without isolators.
Fibre coupling options are available for the

output and
for

/
MOA(L)
input with an external seed laser.
The
TA
diode is mounted in a block (U-chassis) with aspheric input and
output lenses in flexure
x − y
translation stages (fig. 1.2). The flexure
mounts control the transverse positions of the input (focusing) and out-
put (collimation) lenses, providing precise lens alignment with mechanical
