B. Tell et al., LOW-TEMPERATURE CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF VERTICAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS WITH WAVELENGTH BELOW 700 NM, IEEE photonics technology letters, 5(6), 1993, pp. 637-639
We have obtained low temperature continuous operation of vertical-cavi
ty surface-emitting lasers with wavelength below 700 nm. For heat sink
temperatures below - 25-degrees-C, threshold currents less than 4 mA
and optical power of several milliwatts can be obtained. The possibili
ty of achieving efficient room temperature continuous operation is dis
cussed.
