Abstract
Monolithic two-dimensional surface-emitting arrays of strained-layer InGaAs/AlGaAs and AlInGaAs/AlGaAs diode lasers have been fabricated and operated pulsed with low-threshold current densities and differential quantum efficiencies greater than 50%. The InGaAs/AlGaAs arrays emit at 1.03 μm, while the AlInGaAs/AlGaAs arrays emit at 0.815 μm. Thus, it should be possible to fabricate monolithic arrays with comparable performance over a wide wavelength range. The individual lasers of the arrays are horizontal folded-cavity devices with two 45° internal reflectors and two top-surface facets. The design is simple to implement using optical pattern-generator masks, optical projection printing, and chlorine ion-beam-assisted etching in key fabrication steps.
