Abstract :
Low-temperature continuous operation of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with wavelength below 700 nm is discussed. For heat sink temperatures below -25 degrees C, threshold currents less than 4 mA and optical power of several milliwatts are obtained. The possibility of achieving efficient room temperature continuous operation is discussed.<>
