- Within a joint collaboration between modeling, technology and experiments, we investigate the polarization-resolved spatial emission and turn-on dynamics of oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with an integrated surface-relief grating. By applying a time-resolved imaging technique we demonstrate that the introduced high dichroism also maintains its influence dynamically. This leads to highly polarization-stable spatially fundamental Gaussian mode emission on 100-ps timescale. Finally, the achieved progress, but also the limits of this promising stabilization scheme are discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Monolithic techniques for mode and polarisation control in vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) using shallow surface structures are summarized and put in the context with other techniques in terms of performance and manufacturability. The method of using circular-symmetric surface structures for mode control and their combination with a sub-wavelength surface grating for simultaneous mode and polarisation control is described in detail, and adherent experimental results for both 850-nm and 1.3-µm oxide-confined VCSELs are presented.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Short wavelength (850 nm) VCSELs operating at speeds of 25 Gb/s and above are needed for future highcapacity, short reach data communication links. The modulation bandwidth is intrinsically limited by thedifferential gain of the QWs used in the active region of the VCSEL. In this work we explore the use of strainedInGaAs/AlGaAs QWs and benchmark the performance against conventional GaAs/AlGaAs QWs.An 8-band k⋅p model [1] was used to calculate the energy band dispersions, using band offsets from modelsolid theory [2]. In all cases, the QW and barrier compositions and QW thickness were chosen for a gain peak at845 nm, enabling emission at 850 nm with a small detuning between the gain peak and the cavity resonance.With increasing In-concentration the QW thickness is reduced and the Al-concentration in the barrier isincreased to maintain the gain peak at 845 nm and the number of QWs is increased to maintain opticalconfinement and enable operation at a low carrier density for high differential gain. It was found that theincorporation of up to 10% In leads to a significant reduction in threshold carrier density and increase indifferential gain. This is due to an increased separation and reduced mixing between the highest heavy-hole andlight-hole valence bands (Fig.1). A further increase of In concentration leads to a less marked improvement.With an optimum active region design (5 x 4 nm In0.10Ga0.90As/Al0.37Ga0.63As QWs) a differential gain twice ashigh as that of a conventional design with 3 x 8 nm GaAs/Al0.30Ga0.70As QWs was predicted (Table 1).The improvement of differential gain was experimentally confirmed by extracting the resonance frequencyand its dependence on current from the modulation response of VCSELs with optimized InGaAs/AlGaAs QWand conventional GaAs/AlGaAs QW active regions. The differential gain was calculated from the correspondingD-factors (Fig.2) [3]. Excellent agreement was obtained between theory and experiments (Table 1).VCSELs with an optimized InGaAs/AlGaAs QW active region have a modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz at25° and 15 GHz at 85°C [4] and have enabled error-free transmission over 50 (100) m multimode fiber up to 32(25) Gb/s at a bias current density as low as 11 kA/cm2 under direct current modulation.
