Abstract
We demonstrate a very precise cavity-mode control scheme in a 1.55 μm multiple-wavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array. For the precise control of the cavity mode, selective wet etchings of InP and InAlGaAs superlattice tuning layers are investigated using HC1/H2O and H3PO3/H2O2/H2O solution systems, respectively. The average calibrated cavity-mode spacing between channels for the fabricated eight-channel full VCSEL array structure is approximately 0.9 nm, which agrees well with the calculated value of 0.8 nm.
