Secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis of vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depth profile analysis by high-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry ~SIMS! can accurately determine C and Si concentrations within monolithic reflectors of vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers ~VCSELs!. These SIMS depth profiles are quantified to atomic concentrations using relative sensitivity factors and calibration standards, and are correlated to the laser characteristics. We compare the light output versus current and voltage of a conventional oxide-confined VCSEL with a self-pulsating VCSEL. We show that SIMS depth profiling of VCSELs can be useful as a diagnostic method for VCSEL epitaxial wafers, and that the doping level of oxide aperture layers can dramatically impact the device performance. © 2004 American Vacuum Society. @DOI: 10.1116/1.1715051#

The wavelength splitting between the LP01 and LP11 modes of selectively oxidized, ion implanted, and hybrid ion implanted/selectively oxidized vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers is studied by experiment and theory. Measured splittings at threshold show marked differences between the different laser structures due to the effects of index guiding and thermal lensing. Theoretical results were...

متن کاملObservation of low-frequency fluctuations in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
Low-frequency fluctuations, which are typical irregular oscillations in edge-emitting semiconductor lasers, are experimentally observed for the y-polarization mode (y is the direction along the optical axis of a laser material) in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with optical feedback.
