Selectively Oxidized Patterned InP-Based Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers and VCSEL Arrays

Abstract

Since the development of low loss optical fibers over 25 years ago, optical communications has become the system of choice for worldwide communication networks. Some of the many advantages over previous systems include: large transmission bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, low transmission loss, low weight, low power consumption, and relatively low cost. As multimedia services including the internet, cable television, high definition television (HDTV), and computer links become indispensable in our daily lives, large amounts of data must be transmitted through the information highway. This poses a serious challenge on the current communication network.
