Advances and new functions of VCSEL photonics

Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) was born in Japan. The 37 years' research and developments opened up various applications including datacom, sensors, optical interconnects, spectroscopy, optical storages, printers, laser displays, laser radar, atomic clock and high power sources. A lot of unique features have been already proven, such as low power consumption, a wafer level testing and so on. The market of VCSELs has been growing up rapidly and they are now key devices in local area networks b… Show more

“…The latter approach is commonly used in k-space confocal microscopy for the analysis of optical planar microcavities, which present nontrivial angle-dependent optical properties. 18 In fact, the peculiar energy-momentum dispersion of photons confined in microcavities is key for a broad range of applications and phenomena, from the generation and manipulation of coherent light 19 to the production of nonlinear optical devices 20 and the observation of Bose− Einstein condensates in the solid state 21,22 or optical analogues to spin−orbit interaction effects. 23 More in detail, with the push-broom approach, one line of the k-space image is spatially selected by the entrance slit of a dispersive spectrometer placed before a two-dimensional detector, which acquires an energy-momentum cross-section of the 3D cavity dispersion.…”

“…Similarly, the illustration in Fig. 1(a) shows a VCSEL as a particularly simple light source that can be operated with small pump currents and that can be efficiently fabricated in large quantities [35]. On the bottom level "Electronics," the system comprises laser drivers, photodetector (PD) readout electronics, and ADCs, as well as digital signal processing (DSP) circuits for electrical signal generation and evaluation.…”

“…Comparing with edge-emitting lasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have many advantages such as 1) low power consumption, 2) large scale 2D array, 3) single longitudinal mode operation, 4) circular beam for direct fiber coupling,…… [15]. Therefore, the development of UV VCSELs is also very important.…”
