We present operating and lifetest data on 795 and 808 nm bars with aluminum-free active regions. Conductively cooled bars operate reliably at CW power outputs of 40 W, and have high efficiency, low beam divergence, and narrow spectra. Record CW powers of 115 W CW are demonstrated at 795 nm for 30% fill-factor bars mounted on microchannel coolers. We also review QCW performance and lifetime for higher fill-factor bars processed on identical epitaxial material.
