Abstract

We have demonstrated continuous-wave (CW) photopumping of 1.55 pm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with InAlGaAs/InAIAs/InP based structure. The VCSEL[I] operating at 1.55 pn is a promising light source due to its high coupling efficiency and low loss in the fiber-optic communications. The operation of 1.55 pm VCSEL, however, has several obstacles such as low index contrast in the mirror structure and the high nonradiative recombination in the narrow-gap active layer. Recently, the outcome has been significantly progressed by employing various attempts such as fusion technique, hybrid technique and growing alternative heterostructures using antimonide or InAIGaAs/InAlAs/InP-based structure. The InAIGaAs/InAlAs lattice matched to InP is an attractive heterostructure for the 1.55 pm VCSEL due to the relatively large contrast of refractive indices as compared with the InGaAsP/InP system and the fact that the structure contains a single group V element, thus allowing a better control of interfaces. Recently, Kazmierski et a1.[2] reported the pulsed opertion of I .55 pm VCSEL with bulk active layer grown with lnAlGaAs/lnAlAs/InP monolithic structure using electrical injection.
