Abstract
An InGaAs/GaAs vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser has been fabrica ted on a (311)B GaAs substrate. Pulsed lasing operation is obtained at room temperature, and continuous-wave lasing operation is obtained at less than 270 K. From the device, blue laser emission based on second -harmonic generation is observed. The wavelength of the blue laser emi ssion is 482 nm. At 135 K, its output power is 1 nW under continuous-w ave operation and more than 10 nW under pulsed operation. (C) 1996 Ame rican Institute of Physics.
