Abstract

Detailed design and experimental characterization of three generations of double-fused vertical-cavity lasers are described. The result of this design evolution is the first above-room-temperature continuous-wave operation of long-wavelength vertical-cavity lasers. Threshold currents of 2.3 mA and yields greater than 90% have been obtained
