Abstract
The first room temperature (23-degrees-C) continuous wave visible vert ical cavity surface emitting laser diodes are reported. Annular contac t devices with a 5mum optical aperture in a 15mum diameter mesa emit a t 670.4nm with a threshold current of 5mA at 2.4V. Devices with 20-60m um diameter mesas operate continuous wave below -13-degrees-C.
