A waveguide to waveguide coupled hybrid master oscillator power amplifier
(MOPA) includes a wavelength locked laser master oscillator (MO) first
chip including a semiconductor substrate, a waveguide region having a
gain section, one side of the MO including an integrated wavelength
selective feedback element and the other side of the MO including an
integrated reflective or coupling element on one side the waveguide and
an emitting surface opposite the integrated reflective or coupling
element for emitting light. A power amplifier (PA) second chip is stacked
above or below the MO. The PA includes a semiconductor substrate
including a waveguide region having a gain section, an integrated
reflective or coupling element on a side of the PA aligned with light
emitted from the emitting surface of the MO and a coupling grating or
turning mirror and integrated lens on an opposite side of the PA for
emitting an output beam.
