Effects of Lateral Optical Confinement In GaN VCSELs With Double Dielectric DBRs

Two types of GaN vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), with and without lateral optical confinement (LOC) structure, were fabricated and their performances were compared. Compared with the VCSEL without LOC, the device with LOC showed a great improvement in threshold current, slope effic...
