National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers.

DE2003805860

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Smith, A. V.; Allerman, A. A.; Fischer, A. J.; Esherick, P.
Page Count	19
Abstract	The goal of this project was to increase the power of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers and to convert their wavelength into the blue/ultraviolet and the infrared for sensing applications. We have increased the power to the multi-watt level and have generated several milliwatts of blue light using optical pumping. Electrical pump has been less successful, but we have identified the problems and begun work to overcome them using a bottom emitting design.
Keywords	Light emitting diodes Semiconductor lasers Multi-watt level Optical pumping Blue light Electrical pumps Wavelengths Bottom emitting design
