Vertical cavity top surface emitting lasers emitting near 0.67 mu m vi
sible spectral region were fabricated by one-step low pressure metalor
ganic vapor phase deposition technique. The lasers used four 80-Angstr
om-thick InGaP/InGaAlP quantum wells active region, sandwiched between
two Al0.5Ga0.5As/AlAs distributed Bragg reflectors. Room temperature
pulsed threshold current was 10 mA for 15 mu m diam devices.
