Abstract

Wafer-bonded AlAs/GaAs mirrors and AlGaInAs strain- compensated multiple quantum well active layers have been applied into 1.3 micrometer vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Double-bonded 1.3 micrometer VCSELs have operated at room temperature pulsed conditions with a high output power of 4.6 mW, a high characteristic temperature of 132 K, and a large side-mode suppression-ratio of 42 dB. A novel more practical approach for 1.3 micrometer VCSELs have been proposed and demonstrated a very low room temperature pulsed threshold current density of 1.13 kA/cm2 and a very low threshold current of 2 mA. Further improvement focusing on practical approaches for long wavelength VCSELs is underway.
