Embodiment 1

[0058] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a metal grid high-power vertical cavity surface emitting laser. After research and analysis, the existing vertical cavity surface emitting laser with a ring-shaped upper electrode structure, when the current is injected, the current will mainly focus on the emission The edge area of ​​the hole 100, while the current in the middle area of ​​the emission hole 100 is small or even has no current, the current distribution in the edge area of ​​the emission hole 100 is relatively crowded, and there is almost no current distribution in the middle area, which will lead to the overall vertical cavity surface emitting laser The conversion efficiency is low, and the light intensity distribution in the emission hole 100 is not uniform. In order to solve the problems found above, this embodiment provides a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, the vertical cavity surface emitting laser has an emission hole 100 and an u...

[0079] like Figure 4 and Image 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a metal grid high-power vertical cavity surface emitting laser, its basic structure is as in embodiment 1, wherein, the difference from embodiment 1 is that the vertical cavity surface emitting laser is a A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a structure, the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser includes: a P-type conductive lower reflector 208, and the back of the P-type conductive lower reflector 208 has a lower electrode structure 105; an active layer 107 is located on the On the P-type conductive lower reflector 208; N-type conductive upper reflector 206, located on the active layer 107, the N-type conductive upper reflector 206 has a current confinement layer 109, and is limited by the current Layer 109 defines the emission hole 100; the substrate 104 is located on the N-type conductive upper mirror 206; the dielectric layer 110 is formed on the substrate 104; and the upper electrode structur...

Embodiment 3

[0082] like Figure 10 ~ Figure 11 As shown, among them, Figure 11 shown as Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure at CC' in the middle, this embodiment provides a metal grid high-power vertical cavity surface emitting laser, its basic structure is as in embodiment 1, wherein, the difference from embodiment 1 is that the The plurality of grid line electrodes 102 of the upper electrode are connected to the peripheral electrode 101 at intervals, and are arranged in parallel in the emission hole 100. The polarization structure is formed by the plurality of grid line electrodes 102. By adjusting multiple The distance between the grid wire electrodes 102 is used to adjust the polarization degree of the outgoing light of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser. For example, the smaller the distance between the multiple grid wire electrodes 102, the more the vertical cavity surface emitting laser The higher the degree of polarization of the laser ligh...

Abstract

The invention provides a high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with metal meshes. The high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is provided with an upper electrode structure and anemission hole is formed in the high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, wherein the upper electrode structure comprises a peripheral electrode and a plurality of grid line electrodes; the peripheral electrode is arranged on the periphery of the emission hole; and the plurality of grid line electrodes are connected with the peripheral electrode and extend into the emission hole. Throughthe plurality of grid line electrodes, the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a large oxidation aperture is divided into a plurality of narrow-long block areas in a manner of increasing a current path, so that, on one hand, the current density of a central area of the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with the large oxidation aperture can be effectively increased, and on the other hand, the current can be transversely propagated from the plurality of grid line electrodes, thereby greatly improving the uniformity of current density distribution in a light-emitting hole and improving the conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, the coherence of emergent light is kept on a large scale. The high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can be applied to the fields, such as laser radars, infrared cameras and depth identification detectors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor laser design and manufacture, in particular to a metal grid high-power vertical cavity surface emitting laser. Background technique [0002] Vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is developed on the basis of gallium arsenide semiconductor materials.
