Abstract :
In this paper we present a 0.98 mum 4-channel VCSEL array fabricated with grading a SiO2 spacer layer. A maximum of 5.4 nm wavelength span has achieved using 8.5 pairs of SiO2/Ta2O5 mirror. Also, surface nanomachining process is presented for making on-wafer precise spacer-layer gradients.
