  • Abstract
    Summary from only given. We compare the relative sensitivity to feedback of oxide-confined VCSELs to that of proton implanted devices. The devices used in this work are 850 nm VCSELs designed to lase in a single-transverse mode, using either proton implantation or oxide-confinement. We have estimated the coupling efficiency of the external cavity to each VCSEL using two independent experimental techniques.
