摘要:
Arrays of vertical extended cavity surface emitting lasers (VECSELs) are disclosed. The functionality of two or more conventional optical components are combined into an optical unit to reduce the number of components that must be aligned during packaging. A dichroic beamsplitter selectively couples frequency doubled light out of the cavity. In one implementation the dichroic beamsplitter includes at least one prism.

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) includes a semiconductor substrate, a lower reflecting mirror formed thereon, an active layer formed on the lower reflecting mirror, a selective oxidization layer including a current confined structure, and an upper reflecting mirror. A mesa structure is formed in at least the active layer, selective oxidization layer, and the upper reflecting mirror. The VCSEL emits laser light perpendicularly to the plane of the semiconductor substrate when an electric current flows between an upper electrode and a lower electrode. The semiconductor substrate is inclined with respect to (100) plane, and the active layer includes a quantum well layer having a compressive strain with respect to the substrate, and a spacer layer. The spacer layer has either a compressive strain or a tensile strain with respect to the semiconductor substrate.

In a surface emitting laser element (100), on a substrate (101) whose normal direction of a principal surface is inclined, a resonator structural body including an active layer (105), and a lower semiconductor DBR (103) and an upper semiconductor DBR (107) sandwiching the resonator structural body are stacked. A shape of a current passing through region (108b) in an oxide confinement structure of the upper semiconductor DBR (107) is symmetrical to an axis passing through a center of the current passing through region (108b) parallel to an X axis and symmetrical to an axis passing through the center of the current passing through region (108b) parallel to a Y axis, and a length of the current passing through region (108b) is greater in the Y axis direction than in the X axis direction. A thickness of an oxidized layer (108a) surrounding the current passing through region (108b) is greater in the -Y direction than in the +X and -X directions.
