Abstract :
Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) operating at 1310/1550 nm have many potential applications in emerging fiber-optic networks. We describe 1300 nm VCSELs with an integrated 850 nm VCSEL optical pump. Large multi-mode devices exhibit 2 mW room temperature CW (RTCW) power, and CW operation to 700 C, while smaller single-mode devices show 1.3 mW RTCW power with CW operation to 800 C
