20090161714OPTIMIZING VCSEL MIRRORS FOR IMPROVING TEMPERATURE RESPONSE - Improved slope efficiency in a VCSEL can be accomplished by selecting particular mirror layer compositions and/or mirror layer configurations that minimize increased reflectivity in the top mirror and/or maximize increased reflectivity of the bottom mirror with increasing temperature. Improved reflectivity of the bottom mirror compared to the top mirror over a desired operating temperature range can be facilitated by (i) selecting mirror pairs for the bottom and/or top mirror that gives the bottom mirror pairs a greater increase in contrast ratio with increasing temperature compared to the top-mirror pairs, and/or (ii) including fewer mirror pairs in the bottom mirror than the number of mirror pairs that would give optimal reflectivity.06-25-2009
20110096803ASYMMETRIC DBR PAIRS COMBINED WITH PERIODIC AND MODULATION DOPING TO MAXIMIZE CONDUCTION AND REFLECTIVITY, AND MINIMIZE ABSORPTION - An optical device for improving conduction and reflectivity and minimizing absorption. The optical device includes a first mirror comprising a first plurality of mirror periods designed to reflect an optical field at a predetermined wavelength, where the optical field has peaks and nulls. Each of the plurality of mirror periods includes a first layer of having a high carrier mobility, a second layer having lower carrier mobility, and a first compositional ramp between the first and second layers. The thicknesses of the first and second layers for at least a portion of the first plurality of mirror periods are established such that the nulls of the optical field occur within the first layer and not within the compositional ramp. At least the portion of the first layers within the first plurality of mirror periods include elevated doping concentrations at locations of the nulls of the optical field.04-28-2011
