We demonstrate diode laser modules with high spectral radiance larger than 1 GW/cm2/sr/nm in the visible spectral range. These highly brilliant laser light sources enable the development of next-generation 3D displays. About 1 W output power from small-sized modules was achieved at 635 nm by direct diode laser emission and at 530 nm using single pass second harmonic generation (SHG) of a highly brilliant near-infrared laser diode.

Key words: distributed Bragg reflector tapered diode laser, hologram 3D display, SHG, RGB laser sources
