RESUMEN
Low threshold current and polarization-stabilized 795 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are fabricated by integrating a surface grating of high polarization selectivity and high reflectivity. The rigorous coupled-wave analysis method is used to design the surface grating. For the devices with a grating period of 500 nm, a grating depth of ~150 nm, and a diameter of the surface grating region of 5 µm, a threshold current of 0.4 mA and an orthogonal polarization suppression ratio (OPSR) of 19.56 dB are obtained. The emission wavelength of 795 nm of a single transverse mode VCSEL is achieved at a temperature of 85 °C under an injection current of 0.9 mA. In addition, experiments demonstrate that the threshold and output power also depended on the size of the grating region.
