By using discrete 180-degrees substrate rotations during phase-locked
growth of vertical-cavity laser diodes, 1.5% uniformity of lasing wave
length has been achieved over a 50 mm wafer. For 30 x 30 mum2 devices,
the threshold current distribution is 18 +/- 4 mA, and the peak CW po
wer distribution is 5 +/- 3 mW.
