“…The second approach is to use a 45°micro-reflector to direct the normally incident light from a VCSEL sitting on the top surface of a waveguide to an in-plane waveguide. A 45°micro-reflector can be fabricated mechanically or by etching, but the coupling efficiency is a very critical issue [116][117][118][119]. The third approach is based on a grating coupler.…”

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are the ideal optical sources for data communication and sensing. In data communication, large data rates combined with excellent energy efficiency and temperature stability have been achieved based on advanced device design and modulation formats. VCSELs are also promising sources for photonic integrated circuits due to their small footprint and low power consumption. Also, VCSELs are commonly used for a wide variety of applications in the consumer electronics market. These applications range from laser mice to three-dimensional (3D) sensing and imaging, including various 3D movement detections, such as gesture recognition or face recognition. Novel VCSEL types will include metastructures, exhibiting additional unique properties, of largest importance for next-generation data communication, sensing, and photonic integrated circuits.

“…It will be required to assemble a spot size converter to the losses due to coupling between the device and the wave guide. B) Construction of a 45 • micro reflector by etching or mechanically but putting the coupling efficiency in mind is another approach for coupling light to a PIC [169][170][171][172]. The reflector is used to couple the usually light that is incident from a laser lying on the upper part of the wave guide surface to an inplane wave guide.…”

Next generation integrated photonic circuits will be dominated by small footprint devices with lower power consumption, low threshold currentsand high efficiencies. Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) having those attractive qualities has shown results to meet the next generation demands for optical communication sources. VCSELs applications are sensors, data com, optical communication, spectroscopy, printers, optical storage, laser displays, atomic optical clocks, laser radar, optical signal processing to name a few. This review centres around on the basic operation of semiconductor lasers, structure analysis of the devices and parameter optimisation for optical communication systems. This paper will provide comparisons on growth techniques and material selection and intends to give the best material realisation for nano optical sources that are up to date as used in optical communication systems. It also provides summarised improvements by other research groups in realisation of VCSELs looking at speeds, efficiency, temperature dependence and the device physical dimensions. Different semiconductor device growth methods, light emitting materials and VCSELs state of art are reviewed. Discussions and a comparisons on different methods used for realising VCSELs are also looked into in this paper.

“…However, the VCSEL structure, which comprises distributed Bragg reflectors, layers of gradient compositions, and oxidized apertures, is quite complex. Vertical light emission is not convenient for the integration 11 , because it requires additional elements such as 45°m icroreflectors 12 , integrated gratings 13 , microprisms 14 , etc. All this, despite the significant success in VCSELs, motivates the search for microlaser designs that are simpler than VCSELs, have a lateral light outcoupling, and can be integrated with Si-based elements, even if such microlasers have slightly worse performance.…”

Quantum-dot microlasers based on whispering gallery mode resonators

et al. 2021

The subject of this paper is microlasers with the emission spectra determined by the whispering gallery modes. Owing to the total internal reflection of light on the sidewalls, a high Q-factor is achieved until the diameter is comparable to the wavelength. The light emission predominantly occurs in the plane of the structure, which facilitates the microlaser integration with other elements. We focus on microdisk lasers with various types of the In(Ga)As quantum dots (QDs). Deep localization of charge carriers in spatially separated regions suppresses the lateral diffusion and makes it possible to overcome the undesirable effect of non-radiative recombination in deep mesas. Thus, using conventional epitaxial structures and relatively simple post-growth processing methods, it is possible to realize small microlasers capable of operating without temperature stabilization at elevated temperatures. The low sensitivity of QDs to epitaxial and manufacturing defects allows fabricating microlasers using III–V heterostructures grown on silicon.
