Abstract

Visible vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are appealing light sources for a variety of optoelectronic applications, such as printing, high density optical storage, plastic fiber-based local area networks, and displays. Recently, continuous-wave (cw) operation at room1,2 and lower3 temperature has been demonstrated in visible AlGaInP/AlGaAs VCSEL diodes. Characterization of the optical properties of these VCSELs will be important for their insertion into visible laser applications. We report the properties of gain-guided AlGaInP/AlGaAs VCSEL diodes which includes low threshold current and a temperature-independent predetermined polarization state for all transverse optical modes.
