    摘要: A method of fabricating VCSELs including the steps of epitaxially growing a first mirror stack of a first conductivity type, an active region on the first mirror stack, and a first portion of a second mirror stack of a second conductivity type on the active region. A dielectric layer is then formed on the first portion of the second mirror stack, patterned to define an operating region and a remaining portion of the second mirror stack is epitaxially grown on the first portion to form a complete second mirror stack. Portions of the second mirror stack overlying the dielectric layer are polycrystalline in formation and substantially limit the remaining portion of the second mirror stack to the operating region. The polycrystalline layers can then be removed and electrical contacts formed.

    摘要: Patterned-mirrors for VCSELs are fabricated by forming a first mirror stack of a plurality of pairs of relatively high and low index of refraction layers of AlGaAs, forming an active region of aluminum-free material on the first mirror stack, and forming a second mirror stack of a plurality of pairs of relatively high and low index of refraction layers of AlGaAs. The second mirror stack can be selectively etched to the active region by utilizing the aluminum-free active region as an etch stop.

    摘要: A VCSEL including a first mirror stack, an active region and a second mirror stack positioned on a substrate with portions of the active region and the first and second mirror stacks being offset from surrounding portions by an offset area in the surface of the substrate so as to define a lateral waveguide which confines the operating region of the VCSEL. The surrounding portions of the second mirror stack are removed to provide current control and refractory metal contacts are formed on the upper and lower surfaces. Methods of fabricating the offset as a depression or a mesa in the surface of the substrate and the resulting VCSEL are disclosed.

    摘要: A high efficiency vertical cavity surface emitting laser with first and second mirror stacks and an active area sandwiched therebetween. The second mirror stack is formed into a mesa with exposed end surface and outer sidewalls and a centrally located light emission region. A portion of the mesa adjacent the exposed outer sidewalls has a reduced electrical conductance so as to spread operating current from the outer sidewalls into the centrally located light emission region. The electrical conductance of the portion is reduced by oxidizing or etching the outer sidewalls.
