Problems solved by technology

[0003] As a semiconductor laser, VCSEL excites the semiconductor electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band. When the electrons jump back from the conduction band to the valence band, the energy is released in the form of light energy, such as figure 1 As shown, the traditional VCSEL chip structure includes substrate, N-DBR, MQW active layer, oxide layer, P-DBR, P-contact and P-ohmic (P-ohmic contact) from bottom to top, traditional VCSEL, When growing epitaxy, 10 to 20 pairs of P-DBRs made of AlGaAs will be grown on the MQW active layer. Due to the large number of P-DBRs, it will affect the resistance value of the chip, and the current must pass through so many DBRs. In order to reach the MQW active layer to play a role, it is attenuated in the process, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the chip
