The results of the study of heterostructures based on short-period InGaAs/InGaAlAs superlattices fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy on an InP substrate with the aim of using them as active regions for vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers of the 1.3 μm spectral range are studied. Photoluminescence and X-ray diffraction studies of the fabricated heterostructures are carried out. It was shown that a change in the ratio of the quantum well thickness and the barrier layer thickness of the superlattice allows one to controllably shift the position of the photoluminescence peak and to provide the heterostructure parameters necessary to achieve lasing at a wavelength of 1.3 μm, while the photoluminescence efficiency remains practically unchanged.

An important advance in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers has been the demonstration of lasing at wavelengths significantly longer than that possible using InGaAs strained quantum wells, extending beyond 1.3 μm. These fully GaAs-based active regions are compatible with commercial vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology based on selective oxidation, and offer novel performance due to their three-dimensional electronic confinement. This chapter reviews the status of long wavelength quantum dot edge-emitting lasers and VCSELs, and presents some of the new physical principles needed to understand their novel device characteristics.

AbstractLong-wavelength (1300/1550 nm) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have been much more difficult to realize than VCSELs at shorter wavelengths such as 850/980 nm. The primary reason for this has been the low refractive index difference and reflectivity associated with lattice-matched InP/InGaAsP mirrors. A solution to this problem is to “wafer-fuse” high-reflectivity GaAs/AlGaAs mirrors to InP/InGaAsP active regions. This process has led to the first room-temperature continuous-wave (CW) 1.54 μm VCSELs. In this paper, we discuss two device geometries which employ wafer-fused mirrors, both of which lead to CW operation. We also discuss fabrication of WDM arrays using long-wavelength VCSELs.
