Blue and Near-Ultraviolet Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

Abstract: Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) based on gallium nitride semiconductor heterostructures represent a contemporary focus of research, the aim of which is to develop a new class of planar microdevices in the blue, violet, and near-ultraviolet ranges. We review recent progress in this exploratory area, to highlight the challenges and scientific excitement associated with the efforts that are under way to create flexible, short-wavelength sources for applications expected to range from biomedical d… Show more

“…Our degradation work, we suggest, is also of relevance to current questions of longevity in perovskite solar cells, opening another avenue to study microscopic mechanisms of degradation. In broader terms, we note how the epitaxial single‐crystal‐based VCSELs have long been the gold standard in semiconductor laser technologies of high‐end III–V inorganic compounds . Generically, VCSEL devices have advantages of compactness, low lasing threshold, circular beam surface emitting modes, and are compatible with microfabrication as 2D laser arrays.…”

“…This threshold value is comparable or lower than not only perovskite thin film based vertical cavity lasers, but also other solution processed lasing materials such as II–VI colloidal nanoplatelets, quantum dots, , and organic polymers in the same wavelength range under similar optical pumping conditions. In broader terms, we note that VCSELs are inherently among the most challenging semiconductor device testbeds given their stringent requirements of high optical gain and very low losses. …”

“…Recently, the fabrication of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes using GaN materials has been reported [7][8][9]. However, several difficulties still hinder the fabrication of high-quality GaN VCSEL diodes [10,11]. It is difficult to build a high quality (high-Q) optical resonator because of the inherent difficulties of performing epitaxial growth on a polarized surface [12].…”
