摘要: We report on the optimization of p-n-p-type vertical-cavity surface-emitting transistor-lasers based fusion between an AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor and InGaAs/GaAs laser (VCSEL) using epitaxial regrowth process. It is shown how a proper design base region can extend active range operation well beyond lasing threshold, thereby resulting in typical operational characteristics including milliwatt-range output power, milliampere-range threshold current, record low-power dissipation under operation, continuous-wave up to at least 60 °C. A pronounced breakdown collector current limit high and/or emitter–collector voltage accompanied by quenching optical power interpreted as being related quantum band filling.
