Abstract

A new electrically isolated bottom-emission vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structure with a novel contacting method is demonstrated. The structure is grown on semi-insulating material and contacts are made to an n-type intracavity contact layer and the top of a low-resistance Al0.67Ga0.33As/GaAs p-type distributed Bragg reflector. This structure offers the advantages of device isolation and low parasitic capacitance without sacrificing performance. Small devices (10µm or less in diameter) perform as well as the best lasers reported in the literature.
