Abstract :
A vertical cavity surface emitting semiconductor laser is described which uses zinc diffusion and partial disordering of the epitaxial output mirror to provide waveguiding for lateral mode control. Mode suppression ratios against higher order transverse modes as high as 36 dB have been observed.
