A. Khan et al., VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTED BRAGG REFLECTORS FOR MODULATION AND INTEGRATED POWER MONITORING OF VERTICAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS, Electronics Letters, 30(25), 1994, pp. 2146-2147
The authors demonstrate a voltage-controlled distributed Bragg reflect
or with a very high off-state reflectivity and low-voltage operation s
uitable for use within a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. The u
nbiased peak reflectivity approaches 99.8% at 980nm, which may be modu
lated through the quantum-confined Stark effect by 1%. The mirror allo
ws measurement of photocurrent to monitor VCSEL output power.
