M. Ortsiefer et al., 90 degrees C continuous-wave operation of 1.83-mu m Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers, IEEE PHOTON, 12(11), 2000, pp. 1435-1437
Excellent lasing performance is demonstrated for a 1.83-mum InGaAlAs-InP Ve
rtical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) utilizing the Buried Tunnel Ju
nction technology. Threshold currents as low as 190 muA at 20 degreesC and
operating temperatures as high as 90 degreesC have been measured. These val
ues are the best ones reported so far for long-wavelength VCSELs.
