    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, relating to the technical field of photoelectric devices. The vertical cavity surface emitting laser includes a substrate layer, a buffer layer, a first reflector layer, a light emitting layer, a polarization selective hybrid layer and an electrode layer that are stacked. The polarization selective hybrid layer includes a second reflector layer and a near wavelength grating layer integrated above the second reflector layer, where a period of a near wavelength grating is smaller than a wavelength of light in a propagating medium and larger than a wavelength of light in a semiconductor material of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser. The vertical cavity surface emitting laser can emit highly stable and highly polarized laser light, and is simple in structure and convenient to fabricate. The second reflector layer is thinner, which reduces the production cost.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device may include a first set of distributed Bragg reflective (DBR) layers, a second set of DBR layers, a gain region, and an enclosure layer between the gain region and the second set of DBR layers. In some cases, the enclosure layer defines a non-limiting mode oxide aperture. The optoelectronic device may also include a high contrast grating (HCG) mirror element disposed on a side of the second set of DBR layers. In some cases, the HCG mirror element has a first reflection coefficient that is greater than a second reflection coefficient of the second set of DBR layers. Another optoelectronic device may include a photonic crystal (PhC) mirror layer and a gain region disposed between the PhC mirror layer and a set of DBR layers.

    Abstract: A laser device includes a substrate, a first waveguiding layer, an active layer, a second waveguiding layer, a contact layer, an insulating layer, a light-transmissive conducting layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The first waveguiding layer, the active layer, the second waveguiding layer, and the contact layer form an epitaxy structure having a first platform and a second platform. The first platform has multiple holes to form a photonic crystal structure. The insulating layer is over an upper surface and a sidewall surface of the first platform, and over an upper surface of the second platform. The sidewall surface passes through the contact layer, the second waveguiding layer, and the active layer. The light-transmissive conducting layer connects to the photonic crystal structure through an aperture of the insulating layer. The first electrode has an opening corresponding to the aperture. The second electrode is under the substrate.
