Abstract:
Record-high continuous-wave room temperature output powers of 4.3 mW at 650 nm and 10 mW at 670 nm have been achieved from oxide-confined AlGaInP/AlGaAs vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. Devices with small current apertures operate up to temperatures of 65°C (650 nm) and 86°C (670 nm) at reduced output powers.
