Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), substrate emitting VCSEL, and multi-beam emitting device and corresponding manufacturing processes are provided. An example VCSEL comprises a substrate having a first surface and a second surface; an output coupling mirror disposed on the second surface of the substrate; a high reflectivity mirror; and an active cavity material structure disposed between the output coupling mirror and the high reflectivity mirror. The active cavity material structure comprises a first current-spreading layer, a second current-spreading layer, an active region disposed between the first current-spreading layer and the second current-spreading layer, and a tunnel junction overgrown by the second current spreading layer, wherein the tunnel junction is disposed adjacent the active region. The VCSEL is configured to emit radiation outward through the first surface of the substrate.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a tunnel junction for a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) that controls optical and current confinement within the VCSEL. The tunnel junction may define an electrical current injection area and an optical aperture for the VCSEL and may include a heavily p++ doped p-type material and a heavily n++ doped n-type material disposed on the p-type material. At least a portion of the outer edges of the n-type material are etched such that the n-type material has a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the p-type material. By removing a portion of n-type material near the outer edge of the tunnel junction, a sloped effective refractive index is formed, and an effective area of the tunnel junction is changed, which increases the overlap of the current density and the optical field of the VCSEL.

Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is provided that includes a mesa structure disposed on a substrate. The mesa structure defines an emission axis of the VCSEL. The mesa structure includes a first reflector, a second reflector, and a cascaded active region structure disposed between the first reflector and the second reflector. The cascaded active region structure includes a plurality of cascaded active region layers disposed along the emission axis, where each of the cascade active region layers includes an active region having multi-quantum well and/or dots layers (MQLs), a tunnel junction aligned with the emission axis, and an oxide confinement layer. The oxide confinement layer is disposed between the tunnel junction and MQLs, and has an electrical current aperture defined therein. The mesa structure defines an optical window through which the VCSEL is configured to emit light.

Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VSCEL) and method for producing a VCSEL are described, the VCSEL including an undercut active region. The active region of the VCSEL is undercut relative to current-spreading layers of the VCSEL, such that a width of a tunnel junction of the VCSEL overgrown by a current spreading layer is less than a width of an active region of the VCSEL, and a width of the active region of the VCSEL is less than a width of the overgrown current-spreading layer, such that the VCSEL including the undercut active region is configured to transmit data at speeds greater than 25 gigabits/second.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods for fabricating a couplable electro-optical device. An example method comprises fabricating a pillar on a substrate by forming a lens spacer portion about an electro-optical component fabricated on the substrate; and adhering unshaped lens material to an exposed surface of the pillar. The exposed surface of the pillar is disposed opposite the substrate. The example method further comprises maintaining the unshaped lens material at a reflow temperature for a reflow time to allow the lens material to reflow into a formed lens shape, and curing the lens material to form an integrated lens having the formed lens shape secured to the lens spacer portion and formed about the electro-optical component on the substrate.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a substrate and first thin film layers disposed on the substrate and patterned to define a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), which is configured to emit optical radiation along an optical axis perpendicular to the substrate. Second thin film layers are disposed over the first thin film layers and are patterned to define an optical modulator in which the optical radiation propagates in a direction parallel to the substrate, and an optical coupler configured to couple the optical radiation from the VCSEL into the optical modulator.
