    Abstract: Provided are a vertical cavity surface emitting laser and a manufacturing method thereof, the vertical cavity surface emitting laser comprises a laser precursor, and the laser precursor comprises a first reflector layer, an oxidation layer, a light-emitting layer and a second reflector layer which are stacked, wherein the second reflector layer comprises a plurality of first reflection layers and a plurality of second reflection layers, and a groove is formed on the side of the second reflection layer from the oxidation groove and in a direction away from the oxidation groove; a protection layer is arranged on the laser precursor, and the protection layer at least covers the inner wall of the oxidation groove, and the groove is filled with a part of the protection layer. The technical solution may avoid the collapse of the edge of the first reflection layer.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a distributed Bragg reflector is provided. The distributed Bragg reflector is applied to a 1550 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, which structurally includes a top distributed Bragg reflector, a bottom distributed Bragg reflector, and a vertical cavity (including a P-type and an N-type electrode) and a multiple quantum well light-emitting layer that are positioned therebetween. An optical multilayer film of the distributed Bragg reflector is formed by sputtering, and includes silicon layers and silicon dioxide layers alternately stacked to each other. The silicon dioxide layers are produced by a process of nano-sputtering and micro-plasma oxidation. A reflectance of the bottom distributed Bragg reflector at 1,550 nm is greater than 99.9%, and a reflectance of the top distributed Bragg reflector at 1,550 nm is controlled to be between 95% and 99%, so that basic physical/optical requirements for forming a resonant laser can be improved.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) device may include a substrate layer and a set of epitaxial layers disposed on the substrate layer. The set of epitaxial layers may include a first mirror and a second mirror. At least one of the first mirror or the second mirror may include at least one reflector pair that includes a semiconductor material layer and an oxidized semiconductor material layer. The set of epitaxial layers may include an oxidation trench axially extending into at least the second mirror, an active region between the first mirror and the second mirror, and an oxidation layer with an oxidation aperture.
