Surface micromachined tunable 1.55 µm-VCSEL with 102 nm continuous single-mode tuning.
In: Optics Express, 19 (18), pp. 17336-17343. [Article]
Abstract
For the first time a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with a single-mode wavelength-tuning over 102nm in the range of 1550nm is demonstrated. The fiber-coupled optical output power has a maximum of 3.5mW and is \textgreater 2mW over the entire tuning range. The sidemode suppression ratios are \textgreater 45dB. The wavelength tuning is achieved with the micro-electro mechanical actuation of a mirror membrane fabricated with surface micro-machining for on-wafer mass production. The mirror membrane consists of low cost dielectric materials (SiOx/SiNy) deposited with low temperature (\textless 100 °C) Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD).
