Temperature dependence of threshold current in a 1.3 μm InGaAsN VCSEL: Theory and experiment

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The temperature dependence of threshold current in a 1.3 μm InGaAsN vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) was analyzed to determine the senstivity of laser performance to temperature variations. A tunnel junction was introduced at an antinode of the optical cavity field to accomodate the unipolar mirrors composed to Si-doped quarter-wavelength layers. The mirror reflectivities and internal losses were considered to estimate the threshold gain of the modeled device. The analysis suggested that inclusion of macroscopic Coulomb scattering instead of phenomenological relaxation rate to compute gain spectra improved the predictive capability.
