Abstract
Heating remains one of the major challenges for reliable and high-power operation of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The temperature rise in VCSELs depends on the thermophysical properties of the Bragg reflectors and the laser configurations. This study reports the results of experimental investigations on the thermophysical properties of GaAs/AlAs superlattice structures and theoretical modeling of the thermal characteristics of different VCSEL structures.
