Single Mode Photonic Crystal Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers

We review the design, fabrication, and performance of photonic crystal vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). Using a periodic pattern of etched holes in the top facet of the VCSEL, the optical cavity can be designed to support the fundamental mode only. The electrical confinement is independently defined by proton implantation or oxide confinement. By control of the refractive index and loss created by the photonic crystal, operation in the Gaussian mode can be insured, independent of the lasing wavelength.

AbstractThe studies of the emission linewidth for single-mode near-IR vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with an active region based on InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells and different optical microcavity design. For low mirror loss, lasers with a 1λ cavity and carrier injection through distributed Bragg reflectors demonstrate a linewidth of 70 MHz and its growth to 110 MHz with increasing mirror loss (corresponding differential of efficiency ∼0.65 W/A). The design of the optical cavity with carrier injection through intracavity contacts and low-Q composition Bragg lattices reduces the linewidth to 40 MHz in spite of high mirror loss (corresponding differential efficiency of ∼0.6 W/A).
