Abstract
Monolithic 2-D arrays of surface-emitting lasers have several potential advantages over stacked linear arrays of cleaved-facet edge-emitting lasers. However, substantial improvements are needed for the performance of surface- emitting arrays to rival that of stacked arrays. Recently, low threshold current densities (Jch = 160 A/cm2) and significantly improved external differential quantum efficiencies (ηa = 56%) have been reported for arrays of surface-emitting strained-layer lasers with internal 45° cavity-folding mirrors.’
