Abstract :
First CW operation of 1.3 μm-range VCSELs and VCSEL array using GaInNAsSb quantum wells on GaAs substrates are reported. The threshold voltage is as low as 1.2 V, which is the lowest value ever reported for 1.3 μm-range GaInNAs-based VCSELs, and the threshold current. of 10ch-array are as uniform as 1.85 ± 0.15 mA at 25°C.
