Abstract
Vertical-to-surface transmission electrophotonic devices with a vertic al-cavity are described. The individually accessed 12 x 4 arrays are c haracterized and demonstrated to have uniform room-temperature continu ous-wave operating characteristics for a threshold current of approxim ately 2.8 +/- 0.15 mA and a slope efficiency of approximately 0.18 +/- 0.012 W/A with a single transverse mode. Both low threshold and high efficiency with 5% and 7% deviation, respectively, are achieved simult aneously. These devices can be used to constructing two-dimensional ma ssively parallel optical interconnections.
