AbstractThe results of studies on fabrication of vertical-cavity surface-emitting 1.55-μm lasers by fusing AlGaAs/GaAs distributed-Bragg-reflector wafers and an active region based on thin In_0.74Ga_0.26 As quantum wells grown by molecular-beam epitaxy are presented. Lasers with a current aperture diameter of 8 μm exhibit continuous lasing with a threshold current below 1.5 mA, an output optical power of 6 mW, and an efficiency of approximately 22%. Single-mode lasing with a side-mode suppression ratio of 40–45 dB is observed in the entire operating current range. The effective modulation frequency of these lasers is as high as 9 GHz and is limited by the low parasitic cutoff frequency and self-heating.

Surface-emitting semiconductor lasers have been widely used in data communications, sensing, and recently in Face ID and augmented reality glasses. Here, we report the first achievement of an all-epitaxial, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR)–free electrically injected surface-emitting green laser by exploiting the photonic band edge modes formed in dislocation-free gallium nitride nanocrystal arrays, instead of using conventional DBRs. The device operates at ~523 nm and exhibits a threshold current of ~400 A/cm2, which is over one order of magnitude lower compared to previously reported blue laser diodes. Our studies open a new paradigm for developing low-threshold surface-emitting laser diodes from the ultraviolet to the deep visible (~200 to 600 nm), wherein the device performance is no longer limited by the lack of high-quality DBRs, large lattice mismatch, and substrate availability.
