摘要
We have demonstrated a GaAs (311)B vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with a threshold current as low as 250 mu A, which is the lowest value ever reported for that on non-(100) oriented substrates. Also, the fabricated VCSEL shows a stable polarization state for an wide during current ranges and a large polarization-mode suppression ratio over 30 dB between the [(2) over bar 33] and [01(1) over bar] axis modes at 5 mA. The electrical specific resistance of 1.2 x 10(-4) Omega.cm(-2) at the threshold was reasonably low due to carbon autodoping to AlAs in a p-type distributed Bragg reflector (DBR).
