Abstract

Room-temperature continuous wave (cw) operation of a GaAs vertical microcavity surface-emitting laser has been achieved. An ultrashort cavity device with a cavity length of /similar to/5.5 /mu/m was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. cw lasing characteristics such as mode properties and temperature characteristics were examined. Single longitudinal mode operation with a side mode suppression ratio of 35 dB was obtained. The temperature range for single mode operation was more than 50 K.

Room temperature continuous-wave operation of GaInNAs long wavelength VCSELs

Conference Larson, M C ; Coldren, C W ; Spruytte, S G ; ...

Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are becoming increasingly important for short-haul optical fiber transmission systems. Given the commercial success of GaAs-based 850nm VCSELs, dramatic enhancements in transmission bandwidth and distance can be achieved in conventional single- and multi-mode fiber by extending the emission wavelength to the 1300nm-1550nm range. GaInNAs is a promising active layer material grown on GaAs that can achieve 1300nm emission [l], and electrically pulsed broad-area GaInNAs VCSELs [2,3] have been realized. Here we take advantage of the properties of GaAs-based materials-thermally-conductive high contrast mirrors and AlAs-oxide current apertures-to demonstrate for the first time low-threshold ({approx}1 mA) GaInNAsmore »« less

Room-temperature continuous-wave lasing from stacked InAs/GaAs quantum dots grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Journal Article Heinrichsdorff, F ; Mao, M ; Kirstaedter, N ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report on quantum dot (QD) lasers made of stacked InAs dots grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Successful growth of defect-free binary InAs/GaAs QDs with high lateral density (d{sub l}{ge}4{times}10{sup 10}cm{sup {minus}2}) was achieved in a narrow growth parameter window. The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) intensity is enhanced up to a factor of 3 and the PL peak width is reduced by more than 30{percent} when a thin layer of In{sub 0.3}Ga{sub 0.7}As is deposited onto the InAs QDs. A QD laser with a single sheet of such InAs/InGaAs/GaAs QDs exhibits threshold current densities as low as 12.7 and 181A/cm{supmore »« less

Cryogenic operation of AlGaAs-GaAs vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser at temperatures from 200 K to 6 K

Journal Article Goncher, G ; Lu, B ; Luo, W L ; ... - IEEE Photonics Technology Letters

The authors demonstrate for the first time the CW performance of AlGaAs-GaAs vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL`s) at cryogenic temperatures from 6 K to 200 K. By detuning the cavity mode with respect to the gain peak so that optimum dc lasing operation is achieved at {approximately} 100 K, they find that this optimum lasing performance can be maintained down to temperatures as low as 6 K. Across a broad range of temperatures from 200 K to 6 K, the minimum threshold current of a 16-{micro}m diameter VCSEL stayed below 4 mA, while its {minus}3-dB modulation bandwidth increased by about 70%more »« less

Room temperature continuous wave InGaAsN quantum well vertical cavity lasers emitting at 1.3 um

Journal Article CHOQUETTE, KENT D ; KLEM, JOHN F ; FISCHER, ARTHUR J ; ... - Electronic Letters

Selectively oxidized vertical cavity lasers emitting at 1294 nm using InGaAsN quantum wells are reported for the first time which operate continuous wave at and above room temperature. The lasers employ two n-type Al{sub 0.94}Ga{sub 0.06}As/GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors each with a selectively oxidized current aperture adjacent to the optical cavity, and the top output mirror contains a tunnel junction to inject holes into the active region. Continuous wave single mode lasing is observed up to 55 C. These lasers exhibit the longest wavelength reported to date for vertical cavity surface emitting lasers grown on GaAs substrates.

Submilliampere continuous-wave room-temperature lasing operation of a GaAs mushroom structure surface-emitting laser

Journal Article Yang, Y J ; Dziura, T G ; Wang, S C ; ... - Applied Physics Letters; (USA)

We report a GaAs mushroom structure surface-emitting laser at 900 nm with submilliampere (0.2--0.5 mA) threshold under room-temperature cw operation for the first time. The very low threshold current was achieved on devices which consisted of a 2--4 {mu}m diameter active region formed by chemical selective etching, and sandwiched between two Al{sub 0.05}Ga{sub 0.95} As/ Al{sub 0.53}Ga{sub 0.47} As distributed Bragg reflectors of very high reflectivity (98--99%) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition.
