    摘要: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a multi-layer oxide aperture for a VCSEL. The oxide aperture may include multiple layers having different aluminum fractions that may reduce a spectral width of the VCSEL while maintaining longitudinal confinement. The oxide aperture may be formed from a mirror layer of the VCSEL proximate an active region. The mirror layer may include first epitaxial layers closest to the active region having a first aluminum fraction selected to longitudinally confine the optical field of the VCSEL. The mirror layer may include second epitaxial layers that have a second aluminum fraction low enough to prevent substantial oxidation of the second epitaxial layers. Additionally, the mirror layer may include third epitaxial layers that have a third aluminum fraction greater than the first and second aluminum fractions. The third epitaxial layers may be oxidized to form the oxide aperture.

    摘要: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) device includes a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) minor; a second DBR minor arranged on the first DBR mirror; an active layer arranged between the first DBR mirror and the second DBR mirror; and an oxidation layer arranged between the active layer and the second DBR mirror. The oxidation layer comprises an oxide aperture formed through the oxidation layer. A plurality of segmented oxidation trenches are arranged around an area in which the oxide aperture is formed and extend into the stacked structure to expose the oxidation layer for oxidation that forms the oxide aperture. A plurality of plating islands are spatially separated from each other. Each plating island vertically extends into a respective segmented oxidation trench of the plurality of segmented oxidation trenches and seals the respective segmented oxidation trench in order to prevent further oxidation of the oxidation layer.

    摘要: A VCSEL array comprises a plurality of non-isolated VCSEL emitters. Each non-isolated VCSEL emitter comprises a first reflector region, a current confining oxide layer, an oxide aperture, an active region, and a second reflector region. The current confining oxide layer and oxide aperture are made by oxidizing a relatively high Al-content layer via separate oxidation holes. The separate oxidation holes surround the oxide aperture. The first reflector regions of the plurality of non-isolated VCSEL structures are connected such that they are not isolated from each other completely by any isolation structure, and the second reflector regions of the plurality of non-isolated VCSEL structures are connected such that they are not isolated from each other completely by any isolation structure.
