VCSEL with reticular electrode and larger emitting aperture and its optoelectronic characteristics

The enlargement of the emitting aperture is usually one of the important methods of increasing vertical- cavity surface-emitting laser （VCSEL） optical output power. However, in a VCSEL with a larger aperture, the inhomogeneity in the injected current often causes inhomogeneous or even no emission. To solve this problem and to increase VCSEL output power, as well as to improve its thermal characteristics, we develop a new type of injected VCSEL with a larger aperture and a reticular electrode, where the conventional circular injection electrode of the P side is turned into a reticular one, and the heat sink is on the N side. The tests of the new VCSEL show an improvement in homogeneity in not only the injected current but also the emission intensity. The optical output power is also considerably increased, and the device optoelectronic performance is improved.     

Characteristics of selective oxidation during the fabrication of vertical cavity surface emitting laser

Taking into account oxidation temperature, N₂ carrier gas flow, and the geometry of the mesa structures this paper investigates the characteristics of selective oxidation during the fabrication of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) in detail. Results show that the selective oxidation follows a law which differs from any reported in the literature. Below 435℃ selective oxidation of Al_0.98Ga_0.02As follows a linear growth law for the two mesa structures employed in VCSEL. Above 435℃ approximately increasing parabolic growth is found, which is influenced by the geometry of the mesa structures. Theoretical analysis on the difference between the two structures for the initial oxidation has been performed, which demonstrates that the geometry of the mesa structures does influence on the growth rate of oxide at higher temperatures.

Design and numerical simulation of novel DBRs

In this paper, a numerical simulation of the traditional graded distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and a design of the novel DBR with short period superlattices (SPSs DBR) used by vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) are reported. First, the optical characteristic matrix of the graded DBRs is derived using the theories of thin film optics. Second, its reflective spectrum is numerical simulated and it is found that the simulative results are similar with the experimental data. The difference of the cavity mode position between the experimental and simulative data is discussed. Finally, based on the simulative results of graded DBR, a novel DBR with 4.5-pair GaAs/AlAs SPSs is designed, and its reflective spectrum is numerical simulated and analyzed.     

Oxide-apertured VCSEL with short period superlattice

Novel distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) with 4.5 pairs of GaAs/AlAs short period superlattice (SPS) used in oxide-apertured vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) were designed. The structure of a 22-period Al0.9Ga0.1 As (69.5 nm)/4.5-pair [GaAs (10 nm)-AlAs (1.9 nm)] DBR was grown on an n+ GaAs substrate (100) 2° off toward <111>A by molecular beam epitaxy. The emitting wavelength was 850 nm with low threshold current of about 2 mA, corresponding to the threshold current density of 2 kA/cm2. The maximum output power was more than 1 mW. The VCSEL device temperature was increased by heating ambient temperature from 20 to 100℃ and the threshold current increased slowly with the increase of temperature.
