Abstract
Semiconductor laser diodes have continually shrunk in size, a trend driven by the desire for low threshold current, high modulation speed, and lateral mode control. Oxide-defined apertures have demonstrated improved performance by reducing optical losses and current spreading in VCSELs, but carrier losses due to lateral diffusion in the active layer remain uncontrolled.
