High-power monolithically integrated flared amplifier master oscillator power amplifiers (MFA-MOPAs) that operate up to 2 W continuous wave (CW) in a single diffraction-limited lobe have been fabricated. The spectral output of the MFA-MOPA is single longitudinal mode with a side-mode suppression ratio greater than 25 dB. Several operating characteristics of the MFA-MOPA, including the beam astigmatism, amplifier gain saturation, linewidth, far-field extinction ratio, and beam quality metrics are investigated and discussed.>
