Abstract

In this paper, the authors designed a 1.3mum VCSEL with Sb-based DBR technology and demonstrated its first CW operation. It has achieved record-high CW differential efficiencies. High speed modulation was also demonstrated for the first time with this technology. Coupled with previous results at 1.55mum, these results clearly demonstrate this platform´s ability to generate high-performance monolithic VCSELs spanning the entire 1.3-1.6mum wavelength window
