Abstract

We report on RT-CW operation of InP-based 1.55 μm electrically-pumped VECSEL. Uniform carrier injection with no evidence of current crowding, and stable TEM₀₀ single-transverse mode laser emission are obtained from large diameters devices. An experimental study of the thermal characteristics of the large diameter VECSEL is presented.
