Arrays of red VCSELs with partial top dielectric stack DBRs

Abstract

Summary form only given. We report arrays (1/spl times/64) of red vertical cavity GaInP strained quantum well surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) with partial top dielectric stack distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). Output powers exceed 0.5 mW at /spl lambda//sub 0/-660 nm for 15 /spl mu/m diameter devices with threshold currents below 2 mA.
