Abstract
The simultaneous optical amplification and detection in a vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) structure operating at 1.5 μm is experimentally demonstrated. The VCSEL structure is composed of a 50 period InGaAsP/InP Bragg bottom mirror, seven 7 nm strain compensated quantum wells as active region and a 4 period Si/SiO2 Bragg top-mirror, with a semi-insulating re-growth of etched mesas. The laser diameter is 15 μm, the effective cavity length corresponds to 8 W in InP and both mirrors has a reflectivity of approximately 99.5%.
