摘要
We present an exceedingly dense linear vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array with independently addressable elements on a staggered 3-mu m pitch. Our devices utilize an all-epitaxial structure and operate at a wavelength of 813 nm with threshold currents below 400 mu A. The high-packing density is enabled by combining transparent contact technology with a planar laterally oxidized device architecture, The array exhibits low interelement thermal crosstalk and has electrical resistances of 3 M Omega between adjacent array elements.
