90 C continuous-wave operation of 1.83-micron vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Excellent lasing performance is demonstrated for a 1.83-micron InGaAlAs-InP Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) utilizing the Buried Tunnel Junction technology. Threshold currents as low as 190 micro-A at 20 C and operating temperatures as high as 90 C have been measured. These values are...

Description
Summary:Excellent lasing performance is demonstrated for a 1.83-micron InGaAlAs-InP Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) utilizing the Buried Tunnel Junction technology. Threshold currents as low as 190 micro-A at 20 C and operating temperatures as high as 90 C have been measured. These values are the best ones reported so far for long-wavelength VCSELs. (Author)
