Abstract

We have grown 997 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with an offset between the wavelength of the cavity mode and the quantum well gain peak to improve high temperature operation, and with higher aluminum-content barriers around the active region to improve the carrier confinement. We fabricated lasers of 8-15 and 20 μm, diameters. The 8 μm, diameter devices exhibited CW operation up to 140°C with little.
