    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating microelectromechanically tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and microelectromechanically tunable Fabry-Perot filters with precise lateral and vertical dimensional control. Strained reflective dielectric film(s) are applied to a multiple quantum well structure to electronically band-gap-engineer the quantum wells. Appropriate strain in the reflective dielectric film layers is also used to create appropriate curvature in one of the reflective dielectric film stacks so as to form a confocal cavity between a planar reflective dielectric film layer and the curved reflective dielectric film layer in the vertical cavity surface emitting laser or filter. Microelectromechanical tunable vertical cavity surface emitting lasers and filter structures are also provided which include a suspended membrane structure made of a dielectric/metal membrane or metal film that supports a cavity-tuning reflective dielectric film stack while being anchored at the perimeter by metal support post(s). Precise air-cavity length and lateral dimensions are achieved by micro-die-casting using a micro-machined sacrificial polyimide or aluminum disk. Further, tuning is achieved by translational movement of the cavity-tuning reflective dielectric film stack in a controlled electrostatic field.

    摘要: A tunable microelectromechanical optical filter is placed in a linear laser cavity and is tilted at a large enough angle to prevent the unwanted reflections from coupling back to the mode of the cavity. Front and back mirrors form the cavity with a lens matching the mode of the gain media to that of the tuning element. The gain media can be a semiconductor, a solid state crystal or a fiber based region. In another preferred embodiment, the invention includes a ring cavity geometry with clockwise laser oscillation. In this case, the surface of the tunable microelectromechanical filter can be perpendicular to the direction of laser oscillation since the unwanted reflection may be prevented from coupling to the cavity mode by the action of an isolator.
