Surface-emitting GaAs/AlGaAs lasers with 45/degree/ total reflection mirrors havebeen successfully produced using a 45/degree/ tilted reactive ion beam etchingtechnique. The ratio of surface-emitted light output power to edge-emitted lightoutput power was obtained at values as high as 77%. The total reflection mirrorwas formed within 1/degree/ of the desired precise 45/degree/ angle. This type ofsurface-emitting laser is promising for optoelectronic integrated circuitsbecause of the simplicity of its structure and fabrication.
