Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate for the first time electrically-injected Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) with post-supported high-contrast gratings (HCGs) at 940 nm. The HCG-VCSELs have two posts to support the air-suspended HCGs, being realized by simple fabrication without critical point drying. The HCGs can be released with a 100% yield in water or isopropanol. The HCG-VCSEL with a 4 μm × 8 μm oxide aperture achieves a low threshold current of 0.65 mA and a large side-mode suppression ratio of 43.6 dB under continuous-wave operation at 25 degrees. Theoretically, the relaxation resonance frequency of the HCG-VCSEL will increase by 16% compared with that of the conventional VCSEL with a λ/2 cavity. The data rate of 100 Gbps in the on-off keying modulation format for the HCG-VCSEL is expected.
