Abstract

Ultralow threshold current vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) will enable practical laser-based smart pixels. This paper demonstrates and analyzes the role of the oxide in current constriction and optical field control to predict the scaling of VCSELs to microampthresholds. In addition, this paper demonstrates and analyze the impact of high-contrast AlAs oxide/GaAs Bragg mirrors formed by selective oxidation on the performance of VCSELs and studies the trade-offs in device characteristics that arise from use of electrically insulating mirrors.
