M. Fallahi et al., HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION OF CIRCULAR-GRATING SURFACE-EMITTING DBR LASERS FABRICATED ON AN INGAAS GAAS STRUCTURE/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 6(3), 1994, pp. 326-329
We demonstrate high temperature operation of circular-grating surface-
emitting distributed Bragg reflector lasers. The structure is a strain
ed InGaAs/GaAs double quantum well. Circular gratings are defined by e
lectron beam lithography. No epitaxial regrowth is used. A surface emi
ssion power of over 40 mW under pulsed operation at temperatures of up
to 80-degrees-C is obtained without saturation. A fixed single mode o
peration was achieved over a temperature range of 60 degrees.
