A New Coupled Quantum Well Switching Laser (Preprint)

Abstract

A new thyristor VCSEL is reported. It incorporates two independent sets of modulation-doped quantum wells. Threshold currents for 12-micrometer and 8-micrometer apertures are 2.2 mA and 1.6 mA, respectively, with corresponding peak powers of 1.7 mW and 0.16 mW.
