Abstract :
In this paper, we describe active mode control implemented in superlattices of VCSEL-based PhCHs employing separate electrical contacting. The VCSEL-based PhCHs studied were fabricated by depositing a periodic metallic pattern on the top distributed Bragg reflector of a conventional InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs VCSEL wafer emitting at 943 nm wavelength.
