Abstract
Inversion channel technology provides a straightforward way to integrate lasers with detectors and transistors. One inversion channel laser is the double heterostructure optoelectronic switch VCSEL which is reported here with a 2.1 mA threshold for a 10 μm diameter device. A deposited stack of SiO2/TiO2 was used with post-growth etching of the cavity. Excellent electrical switching parameters or Vsh=13 V, Vh=2.1 V and Ih=0.5 mA were obtained, making the device suitable for the digital optoelectronic sensing of small optical inputs
