High-Speed Quantum-Dot Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

We report on recent progress in high-speed quantum-dot (QD) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Advanced types of QD media allow an ultrahigh modal gain, avoid temperature depletion, and gain saturation effects. Temperature robustness up to 100degC for 0.96-1.25 mum range devices is realized in the continuous wave (cw) regime. An open eye 20 Gb/s operation with bit error rates better than 10^-12 has been achieved in a temperature range 25degC - 85degC without current adjustment. A different approach for ultrahigh-speed operation is based on a combination of the VCSEL section, operating in the CW mode with an additional section of the device, which is electrooptically modulated under a reverse bias. The tuning of a resonance wavelength of the second section, caused by the electrooptic effect, affects the transmission of the system. The approach enables ultrahigh-speed signal modulation. 60 GHz electrical and ~35 GHz optical (limited by the photodetector response) bandwidths are realized.     

Self-Aligned Microlens-Integrated Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

A novel method for fabricating microlens-integrated vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) by selective oxidation of composition-graded digital alloy AlGaAs was developed. Due to the simultaneous formation of a microlens and oxide aperture via single-step oxidation, self-aligned microlens-integrated VCSELs could be fabricated using standard intracavity-contacted VCSEL processing without additional process steps. The output beam from the oxide-buried and oxide-removed AlGaAs microlens-integrated VCSELs was strongly focused to a beam radius of 3.7 and 3.5 mum at a distance of about 25 and 15mum, respectively, from the surface of the VCSEL

980nm高功率垂直腔面发射激光器的理论分析

理论分析了980nm高功率垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)的器件特性与其分布布拉格反射镜(DBR)反射率的依赖关系,并计算了具有不同有源区直径的VCSEL的输出特性.分析了具有不同有源区直径的VCSEL在不同DBR反射率条件下的连续输出特性曲线,发现DBR反射率的改变会对有源区直径不同的VCSEL产生不同程度的影响.为了验证理论分析的结果,进行了器件测试实验.实验结果表明,有源区直径为500μm的VCSEL,当其N-DBR反射率分别为99.7%及99.2%时,在连续注入电流为6A时,其输出功率分别为2.01W和2.09W;而有源区直径为200μm的VCSEL,当N-DBR反射率为99.7%及99.2%时,连续注入电流为3A时,其输出功率分别为0.64W及1.12W.器件测试结果有效验证了理论分析的结论.     

Ultralow Threshold Red Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

Visible Vertical-cavity Surface-emitting Lasers (VCSELs) have been designed and fabricated by using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. Using the 8λ optical cavities with 3 quan tum wells in A1GaInP/AlGaAs VCSEL's to reduce the drift leakage current and enhance the model gain, the device can operate continuous wave at wavelength of 670nm. For better performance, a misoriented (100) substrate (6～10° to (110)) has been used to reduce the ordering of AlGaInP. However, as the angle of misorientation increased, the symmetry of the structure became worse. This made it difficult to achieve little aperture device. By using 45° rotated selective oxidation method, a little aperture (1 × 1μm2) device with low threshold of 0.25mA can operate continuous wave at room temperature.     

Polarization Dynamics of Current-Modulated Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

We study the dynamics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with direct current modulation in the framework of a model for index-guided VCSELs that takes into account two orthogonal linear polarizations. We analyze the effect of current modulation near the polarization switching (PS) of type I, from the high to the low frequency polarization, and near the PS of type II, from the low to the high frequency polarization. We find that the oscillations of the total power are as those of a single-mode laser, unaffected by the underlaying polarization coexistence or polarization competition. We also study the small-signal modulation response in the Fourier domain, for modulation dc values near the PS point. Close to type I PS the response of the total power as well as the response of the orthogonal polarizations has the same functional dependency on the modulation frequency, and can be fitted by the response function of a single-mode laser. Close to type II PS, polarization competition is a significant process at low modulation frequencies. The polarization-resolved modulation response displays features at low frequencies that are not present in the response of the total power, which is as that of a single-mode laser. The dynamics becomes increasingly complex as the modulation amplitude grows, and there is multistability of solutions.     

Optimal Parameters of Photonic-Crystal Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Diode Lasers

We determine a range of technologically feasible PC parameters providing an optimal laser performance.
