17.3% peak wall plug efficiency vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers using lower barrier mirrors

Modifications to the epitaxial growth of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) material have recently led to improved characteristics. By offsetting the quantum-well gain peak from the cavity mode, and implementing lower barrier p-type Al/sub 0.67/Ga/sub 0.33/As/GaAs DBR mirrors with parabolic interface gradings, better high-temperature operation and lower voltages have been achieved. These effects combine to yield a peak wall plug efficiency of 17.3% for room temperature, CW operation.<<ETX>>
