Abstract

Polarization stable characteristic of vertical cavity surface emitting laser array with rectangular element structure based on proton implantation is achieved. Arrays with different aperture sizes and different array scales are investigated. The maximum orthogonal polarization suppression ratio of a 6 × 6 array with 6 μm; × 4 μm elements is as high as 16.1 dB at 51 mA. The x-polarization dominates y-polarization in the operation current range from the threshold to the saturated current. The full widths at half maximum in far-field profiles for x-polarization and y-polarization are 8.8° and 10.7°, respectively. These results suggest that stable polarization is available in the implant-defined VCSEL array.
