Jm. Catchmark et al., EXTENDED TEMPERATURE AND WAVELENGTH PERFORMANCE OF VERTICAL-CAVITY TOP SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS, Applied physics letters, 63(23), 1993, pp. 3122-3124
We report over 130-degrees-C continuous wave operation of unbonded ver
tical cavity top-surface emitting lasers emitting more than 1.0 mW at
110-degrees-C. Furthermore, we control threshold currents to within on
ly +/- 1.35 mA (+/- 12%) over a 150-degrees-C temperature range. We ar
e also able to control the threshold current to within a factor of 2 o
ver a 50 nm wavelength range using the same epidesign.
