Abstract
We introduce a scheme incorporating wafer bonding and tunnel junctions to improve the performance long-wavelength Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs). Through careful design of PL-mode offset, mirror reflectivity, and aperture definition, we achieve lasing to 134°C, output power above 2 mW, single-mode output power at 80°C above 1 mW, and differential efficiencies of 46%. We achieve lasing at wavelengths as high as 1336 nm and show a versatile design that can be applied to any VCSEL functioning at long wavelengths.
