AbstractDistributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) not only serve as high-reflectance mirrors to define the laser cavity of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), but they also must conduct electricity, confine currents, and provide a single-crystal template for the gain region of the laser. Basic optical and electrical properties of DBRs are presented in this article. Three examples of DBR structures used in VCSEL applications from the ultraviolet to the infrared are given to illustrate the complexity and range of materials science issues that are encountered in DBR growth. Fabrication issues are also discussed.

Progress in addressing critical epitaxial design issues associated with AlGaInP -based visible (red) vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes is reviewed, with emphasis on those issues that differentiate red VCSELs from conventional AlGaAs -based near-IR VCSELs. Key issues include epitaxial growth techniques for red VCSELs, the unique properties of AlGaInP alloys and heterostructures, design and growth of visible distributed Bragg reflectors, and integration of AlGaInP and AlGaAs hetero-structures into the hybrid VCSEL device structure. The performance characteristics of AlGaInP/AlGaAs red VCSEL diodes are overviewed in the context of the epitaxial design.
