Abstract

The invention discloses a GaN-based vertical cavity surface emitting light source with tunable light emitting wavelength, and relates to an emitting light source. The vertical cavity surface emittinglight source is provided with an epitaxial layer; the epitaxial layer comprises a substrate, a lower dielectric film distributed Bragg reflector, an ITO current expansion layer, a p type Cr / Au electrode, an SiO<2> current limiting layer, p type GaN, a quantum dot active layer, n type GaN, an n type Cr / Au electrode and an upper dielectric film distributed Bragg reflector from the bottom up in sequence. By taking quantum dots of different dimensions as the active layer, the tunable gain characteristic is obtained; by combination with a resonance cavity effect, the output characteristic of the light emitting wavelengths tunable between strong coupling modes can be obtained; the light emitting wavelength tuning ranges range from green-yellow light to purple light, so that large-range tuning isrealized; and compared with the conventional method for manufacturing a tunable light emitting device, complex material growth and period manufacturing process are not needed in the invention, so that the technological process and the device manufacturing difficulty are greatly simplified, and the tuning range of the light emitting wavelengths is expanded.
