Summary :

We demonstrate a single high-order transverse mode surface emitting laser (VCSEL) with narrow trenches formed on a top surface. The design and the fabrication of a single high-order mode 850 nm GaAs VCSEL with micromachined surface relief are presented. Stable single-mode operation with a side-mode suppression ratio of over 40 dB was obtained in an entire measured current range. We obtained the maximum single mode power of over 3.5 mW and a record low series resistance of below 50 Ω. In addition, a single-lobe far field pattern is demonstrated even under high-order transverse mode operation by loading phase-shift on the top surface. A coupling efficiency with optical fibers is dramatically improved.
