  • Abstract
    Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with reduced effective index guiding of the optical wave show a record performance. GaAs based 850 nm emission wavelength VCSELs are fabricated using solid source MBE and carbon p-type doping. Depending on device design maximum room temperature conversion efficiencies of 57%, an operating range from -80°C up to +185°C, and threshold currents below 500 μA from -40 to +80°C have been obtained
