Abstract
High-efficiency vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are attractive for several emerging applications, such as the optical data links or the free-space interconnects, because high-efficiency implies relaxed power budgets and lower parasitic thermal dissipation. Recently, VCSBL power conversion efficiency greater than 50%1 has been obtained using a monolithic selectively oxidized VCSBL with enhanced electrical and optical confinement.2,3
