Selectively oxidized 850nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser diod
es which emit through transparent n-type GaP and AlGaAs substrates are
reported. The short wavelength bottom-emitting lasers are fabricated
using a low temperature inert gas wafer fusion process. Compared to to
p-emitting lasers, the bottom-emitting lasers bonded to n-type AlGaAs
substrates show comparable electrical characteristics, while lasers bo
nded to n-type GaP substrates exhibit higher series resistance and vol
tage.
