  • Abstract
    The single fundamental mode output power of photonic crystal vertical cavity lasers is improved by varying sizes of oxide apertures and defect lasing apertures. A maximum output power of 3.1 mW in the fundamental mode has been achieved with a new fabrication process that involves only focused ion beam etching to create holes in selectively oxidised VCSELs.
