摘要：

In this letter, we characterize the high-speed modulation properties of thin-oxide-apertured vertical-cavity lasers, The modulation response scales with device diameter due to the negligible optical scattering loss present in these devices, A small diameter laser of 3.1 mu m has a maximum 3-dB bandwidth of 15.2 GHz at a bias of only 2.1 mA, Modeling indicates a no-parasitic bandwidth of 18.2 GHz at this current level, with an intrinsic 3-dB bandwidth limit of 45 GHz due to gain compression, The present devices are limited by parasitic capacitance across the thin oxide layer.
