Abstract

See full text

The invention describes a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser and a method of manufacturing such a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser. The Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser comprising a first electrical contact (105, 405, 505, 605, 705), a substrate (110, 410, 610, 710), a first distributed Bragg reflector (115, 415, 615, 715), an active layer (120, 420, 620, 720), a distributed heterojunction bipolar phototransistor (125, 425, 625, 725), a second distributed Bragg reflector (130, 430, 630, 730) and a second electrical contact (135, 435, 535, 635, 735), the distributed heterojunction bipolar phototransistor (125, 425, 625, 725) comprising a collector layer (125a), a light sensitive layer (125c), a base layer (125e) and an emitter layer (125f), wherein the distributed heterojunction bipolar phototransistor (125, 425, 625, 725) is arranged such that there is an optical coupling between the active layer (120, 420, 620, 720) and the distributed heterojunction bipolar phototransistor (125, 425, 625, 725) for providing an active carrier confinement by means of the distributed heterojunction bipolar phototransistor (125, 425, 625, 725) such that an optical mode of the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser is self-positioning in accordance with the active carrier confinement during operation of the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser. It is the intention of the present invention to provide a VCSEL which can be easily and reliably processed by integrating the distributed heterojunction bipolar phototransistor (125, 425, 625, 725).
