Abstract
We fabricate 850-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with oxide-aperture diameters of 5, 7, 9 and
$11~\mu $
m and study the effect of oxide-aperture size on the threshold current, output power, differential quantum efficiency and wall-plug efficiency of the devices. We characterize the small-signal modulation bandwidth (
${f} _{3dB}$
) of the devices and explore the impact of oxide-aperture size and bias current on the modulation bandwidth. We analyze the relationship between electrical power and the
${f} _{3dB}$
of the VCSELs with different aperture diameters. The fabricated 850-nm VCSEL with the oxide-aperture diameter of
$7~\mu $
m at room temperature shows a maximum
${f} _{3dB}$
of nearly 20 GHz and an output power of 9.09 mW. When the oxide-aperture increases to
$11~\mu $
m, the
${f} _{3dB}$
remains above 17 GHz and the optical output power exceeds 14 mW.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
