Abstract

Single transverse mode operation in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is desired over multimode operation in a number of applications. This work presents a method of achieving single-mode operation by depositing an annulus-shaped semiconductor coating atop an 850 nm oxide-confined VCSEL to modify the standing wave of the optical field in the laser cavity. The devices are benchmarked for single-mode performance as well as optical output power via optical spectra and light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements respectively.
