Abstract

We apply the antenna coherence theory in order to evaluate characteristic behavior of phase-coherent VCSEL arrays. Large 19-element phase-locked VCSEL arrays with a near-diffraction-limited beam were firstly realized using proton implantation technology. The central lobe intensity is about four times that of side lobes in far-field patterns. The angular full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the far field lobes is only 1.42 degrees. A good matching between theory and experiment opens new perspectives for optimizing devices.
