Abstract
This paper presents an in-depth evaluation of 1130 nm VCSEL devices, including single emitters and arrays produced using industrial III-V semiconductor fabrication processes. The study focuses on electro-optical performance and device longevity, revealing wall plug efficiencies of approximately 32% at 25 °C for single junction devices. A detailed comparison between polarization-stabilized and non-stabilized devices highlights that polarization-stabilized VCSELs maintain a consistent polarization extinction ratio of around −15 dB, regardless of their modal behavior. Additionally, we introduce a model predicting the scaling of arrays to achieve watt-level power outputs, optimizing optical aperture, pitch, and mesa count for specific applications. This analysis underlines the potential of these devices for advanced sensing and data transmission applications.
期刊介绍:
Papers published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics fall within the broad field of science and technology of quantum electronics of a device, subsystem, or system-oriented nature. Each issue is devoted to a specific topic within this broad spectrum. Announcements of the topical areas planned for future issues, along with deadlines for receipt of manuscripts, are published in this Journal and in the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Generally, the scope of manuscripts appropriate to this Journal is the same as that for the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Manuscripts are published that report original theoretical and/or experimental research results that advance the scientific and technological base of quantum electronics devices, systems, or applications. The Journal is dedicated toward publishing research results that advance the state of the art or add to the understanding of the generation, amplification, modulation, detection, waveguiding, or propagation characteristics of coherent electromagnetic radiation having sub-millimeter and shorter wavelengths. In order to be suitable for publication in this Journal, the content of manuscripts concerned with subject-related research must have a potential impact on advancing the technological base of quantum electronic devices, systems, and/or applications. Potential authors of subject-related research have the responsibility of pointing out this potential impact. System-oriented manuscripts must be concerned with systems that perform a function previously unavailable or that outperform previously established systems that did not use quantum electronic components or concepts. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only.
