Efficient single-mode oxide-confined GaAs VCSEL's emitting in the850-nm wavelength regime

Single- and multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with three unstrained GaAs quantum wells (QWs) and emission wavelengths around 850 nm have been fabricated using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for crystal growth. Wet chemical etching and subsequent selective oxidation are applied for current confinement. The influence of oxide layer position on lateral index guiding is studied in detail in order to increase maximum single-mode output power. A device of 3-μm active diameter and reduced index guiding shows maximum single-mode output power of 2.25 mW with a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of more than 30 dB for high-efficiency oxidized VCSELs     

MOVPE-grown GaInNAs VCSELs at 1.3 /spl mu/m with conventional mirror design approach

1.3 /spl mu/m oxide confined GaInNAs VCSELs designed using the same design philosophy used for standard 850 nm VCSELs is presented. The VCSELs have doped mirrors, with graded and highly doped interfaces, and are fabricated using production-friendly procedures. Multimode VCSELs (11 /spl mu/m oxide aperture) with an emission wavelength of 1287 nm have a threshold current of 3 mA and produce 1 mW of output power at 20/spl deg/C. The maximum operating temperature is 95/spl deg/C. Emission at 1303 nm with 1 mW of output power and a threshold current of 7 mA has been observed from VCSELs with a larger detuning between the gain peak and the cavity resonance.     

High performance selectively oxidized VCSELs and arrays forparallel high-speed optical interconnects

High-bandwidth single-mode selectively oxidized vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays operate at 980 nm or 850 nm emission wavelength for substrate or epitaxial side emission. Coplanar feeding lines and polyimide passivation are used to reduce electrical parasitics in top-emitting GaAs and bottom-emitting InGaAs VCSELs. To enhance fundamental single-mode emission for larger devices of reduced series resistance a surface relief transverse mode filter is employed. Fabricated VCSELs are applied in various interconnect schemes. InGaAs quantum-well based VCSELs at 935 nm emission wavelength are investigated for use in perfluorinated graded-index plastic-optical fiber (GI-POF) links. We obtain a 7 Gb/s pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) data transmission over 80 m long 155 μm diameter GI-POF. We investigate data transmission over standard 1300 nm, 9 μm core diameter single-mode fiber with selectively oxidized single-mode GaAs and InGaAs VCSELs. We achieve biased 3 Gb/s and bias-free 1 Gb/s pseudo-random data transmission over 4.3 km at 830 nm emission wavelength where a simple fiber mode filter is used to suppress intermodal dispersion caused by the second order fiber mode. For the first time, we demonstrate 12.5 Gb/s data rate transmission of PRBS signals over 100 m graded-index multimode fiber or 1 km single-mode fiber using high performance single-mode GaAs VCSELs of 12.3 GHz modulation bandwidth emitting at λ=850 nm     

Development of bottom-emitting 1300-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

We present experimental results on the development of bottom-emitting GaInNAs vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) operating at wavelengths near 1300 nm. This development effort is based on the modification of oxide-apertured top-emitting structures to allow emission through the GaAs substrate. Similar device performance was seen in both the top- and bottom-emitting structures. Single-mode output powers (adjusted for substrate absorption) of /spl sim/0.75 mW, with threshold currents of 1.3 mA, were achieved with /spl sim/3.5-/spl mu/m aperture diameters. Larger multimode devices exhibited a maximum adjusted output power of 2.2 mW. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first bottom-emitting flip-chip compatible 1300-nm VCSELs fabricated with GaInNAs-GaAs active regions.     

垂直腔面发射激光器制作新工艺

采用一种新工艺制作了垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL),即用开环分布孔取代以往的环形沟道作为氧化物限制技术的注入窗口。因开环分布孔间形成多个桥,为电注入提供了天然的桥状通道,解决了电极过沟断线问题。这种新结构器件的输出功率约为以往结构器件的1.34倍。在20℃~80℃范围内,对器件的输出功率、阈值电流及波长漂移性进行了研究。60℃时最大输出光功率可达到6 mW。激射波长随温度升高呈线性变化,且向长波方向移动,速率为0.06 nm/℃。由实验结果计算出器件的热阻为1.96℃/mW。     

Dynamic mode stability analysis of surface relief VCSELs under strong RF modulation

We demonstrate that a carefully designed fundamental-mode stabilized vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) using a shallow surface relief can maintain a large sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR) under strong radio frequency modulation. A number of VCSELs emitting at 850 nm, with different surface relief and oxide aperture diameters, have been experimentally investigated. For certain combinations of these diameters, the SMSR exceeds 30 dB at 2- and 5-GHz operation, even for as much as 15 dBm of input modulation power.
