  • Abstract
    Threshold current densities as low as 370-440 A/cm2 and differential quantum efficiencies of 26-32% have been obtained for air-post index-guided bottom-emitting InGaAs VCSELs using a periodic gain 2λ active structure. The low threshold current densities with high differential quantum efficiencies suggest that the periodic gain active structure is useful in improving threshold characteristics of VCSELs without deteriorating output power characteristics
