Abstract:

Two-dimensional 2D multi-wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting laser VCSEL arrays is promising for ultrahigh aggregate capacity optical networks. A 2D VCSEL array emitting 140 distinct wavelengths was reported by implementing a spatially graded layer in the VCSEL structure, which in turn creates a wavelength spread. In this program, we concentrated on novel epitaxial growth techniques to make reproducible and repeatable multi-wavelength VCSEL arrays. MBE, Patterned substrate, VCSEL.
