    Abstract: In some implementations, a method may include forming a quantum well (QW) layer using an epitaxial growth process, where the epitaxial growth process is performed according to a first growth mode to form the QW layer. The method may include forming a quantum well barrier (QWB) layer using the epitaxial growth process, where the epitaxial growth process is performed according to a second growth mode to form the QWB layer. In some implementations, a nitrogen flux used in the first growth mode is different from a nitrogen flux used in the second growth mode. In some implementations, a gallium flux used in the first growth mode is different from a gallium flux used in the second growth mode.

    Abstract: A method of forming a VCSEL device cavity using a multiphase growth sequence includes forming a first mirror over a substrate, forming a tunnel junction over the first mirror, forming an oxidation aperture (OA) layer over the tunnel junction, forming a p-doped layer over the OA layer, forming an active region over the p-doped layer, forming a second mirror over the active region, and forming a contact layer over the second mirror. The first mirror, the tunnel junction, the OA layer, and the p-doped layer are formed using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process during an MOCVD phase of the multiphase growth sequence. The active region, the second mirror, and the contact layer are formed using a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) process during an MBE phase of the multiphase growth sequence.

    Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array may include an n-type substrate layer and an n-type metal on a bottom surface of the n-type substrate layer. The n-type metal may form a common anode for a group of VCSEL. The VCSEL array may include a bottom mirror structure on a top surface of the n-type substrate layer. The bottom mirror structure may include one or more bottom mirror sections and a tunnel junction to reverse a carrier type within the bottom mirror structure. The VCSEL array may include an active region on the bottom mirror structure and an oxidation layer to provide optical and electrical confinement. The VCSEL array may include an n-type top mirror on the active region, a top contact layer over the n-type top mirror, and a top metal on the top contact layer. The top metal may form an isolated cathode for the VCSEL array.

The VCSEL may include a tunnel junction over the p-type layer to reverse a carrier type of an n-type top mirror. Either the oxidation layer is on or in the p-type layer and the tunnel junction is on the oxidation layer, or the tunnel junction is on the p-type layer and the oxidation layer is on the tunnel junction. The VCSEL may include the n-type top mirror over the tunnel junction, a top contact layer over the n-type top mirror, and a top metal on the top contact layer.

    Abstract: A method of forming a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) device using a multiphase growth sequence includes forming a first mirror over a substrate; forming an active region (e.g., a dilute nitride active region) over the first mirror; forming an oxidation aperture (OA) layer over the active region; forming a spacer on a surface of the OA layer; and forming a second mirror over the spacer. The active region is formed using a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) process during an MBE phase of the multiphase growth sequence and the second mirror is formed using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process during an MOCVD phase of the multiphase growth sequence.
