  • Abstract
    By using discrete 180 degrees substrate rotations during phase-locked growth of vertical-cavity laser diodes, 1.5% uniformity of lasing wavelength has been achieved over a 50 mm wafer. For 30*30 mu m2 devices, the threshold current distribution is 18+or-4 mA, and the peak CW power distribution is 5+or-3 mW.
