Abstract

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have been successfully integrated by fluidic self-assembly (FSA) into 10 μm deep holes etched into an Si substrate. These 40 × 40 × 10 μm3 devices were fully planarised and metallised after integration. The VCSELs operated pulsed at 0.98 μm with a threshold current as low as 75mA and a turn-on voltage of 2.9V.
