In this talk, we present watt-class high-power, high-beam-quality operation of GaN-based photonic crystal lasers (PCSELs) at blue wavelengths, having a low threshold current density. First, we design a device layer structure to enhance the 2D photonic-crystal resonant effect in GaN-based materials, considering their low refractive index contrast. Next, we develop a new nano-fabrication method for realizing GaN/air structures with sufficiently small disorders. Then, we introduce an asymmetric unit cell based on a double-lattice structure in order to enhance the extraction efficiency of light toward the optical facet for high-power operation. Based on these optimizations, we successfully develop GaN PCSELs with high, watt-class (>1 W) output power and circular, single-lobed beam with a very narrow (~0.2°) divergence angle. In addition, we demonstrate CW operation with a high output power (~320 mW) and a high beam quality (M2~1).
