At 100 A pulsed operation, simulations predict a far-field profile with 0.3-degree full width at half maximum where a 0.4-degree-wide main lobe contains 40% of the emitted optical output power. While far-field measurements of these structured lasers emitting 10 ns long pulses with 35 W peak power confirm a substantial enhancement of radiation within the central one-degree angular range, the measured far-field intensity outside of the obtained central peak remains high.
