Abstract
We are currently studying a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL.) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). This structure consists of a fourteen 100 Ǻ GaAs quantum-well (QW) active region sandwiched between two integrated AlAs/ AlGaAs Bragg reflectors, Tbe width and depth of the quantum wells allow two transitions between the conduction band and the valence band to contribute to the wide spectral repartition of tire optical gain. For a carrier density greater than 5 × 1018 cm-3, the theoretical gain of the second quantum transition involved (e2-h2) tends to exceed that of the first (e1-h1).
