Abstract

At present, almost all semiconductor lasers use designs based on the vertical injection of current into the active region. While this scheme has proven successful for discrete laser diodes, it has several intrinsic drawbacks. First of all, there is an incompatibility between vertical injection and the preference for lateral integration. Just as in electronics, the evolution from discrete components to integrated circuits necessitates a change from vertical to lateral devices.
