The authors have made a systematic study on changing the reflectivity of Si/SiO/sub 2/ mirror for 1.3 ..mu..m GaInAsP/InP surface emitting lasers. The effective threshold current of 4.5 mA at 77K continuous operation has been obtained. This indicates a possibility of a sub-mA threshold at 77K and greater than or equal to20m at 300K by optimizing the mirror reflectivity.
