G. Almuneau et al., Improved electrical and thermal properties of InP-AlGaAsSb Bragg mirrors for long-wavelength vertical-cavity lasers, IEEE PHOTON, 12(10), 2000, pp. 1322-1324
The electrical, thermal and optical properties of n-doped InP-AlGaAsSb 1.5-
mum Bragg mirrors are reported. A voltage of 10 mV per pair at 1 kA/cm(2) h
as been obtained in these mirrors, due to a low conduction band offset. Thi
s record electrical performance, combined with a large refractive index con
trast (n(H)/n(L) = 1.135) and improved thermal properties, makes the combin
ation very promising for long wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting l
asers.
