Abstract
Two-dimensional, high-power, individually addressable, surface-emitting arrays are desirable for optical memories, optical interconnects, and optical computing. Two-dimensional vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers have been fabricated.3 However, low wall plug efficiency, high series resistance, and low cw output powers are a concern for future systems. On the other hand, most research efforts for in-plane horizontal cavity surface-emitting lasers were concentrated on incoherent high-power applications, because of their inherent advantages of a much longer gain path.2
