Abstract
Proton implanted, vertical cavity top-surface emitting lasers exhibit the highest single-mode and multi-mode output powers, highest power co nversion efficiency, and lowest threshold voltage for such devices rep orted to date. These lasers use new mirror grading designs that are en abled by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy's capabilities of alloy grad ing and carbon doping. The results validate this growth technology by exceeding the previous best results which were based on molecular beam epitaxy.
