Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in particular to a photonic crystal vertical cavity surface-emitting laser with single-mode high-power and low divergence angle. Background technique [0002] As a member of the laser family, the vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) has incomparable advantages over edge emitting semiconductor lasers, such as the beam exiting vertically to the substrate is easy to integrate on a single chip, and the circular symmetrical divergence of the outgoing beam is small, which is conducive to efficient coupling and resonance. The small size of the cavity can achieve extremely low threshold lasing, and the extremely short optical cavity can easily realize single longitudinal mode operation, which can be used for on-chip testing, simplifying the process and reducing costs, etc. Fields such as printing and biosensing are widely used and attract great interest and attentio...
