    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Semiconductor Lasers
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) offer efficient light emission but face limitations.
    • Quantum wells in QCLs can be improved by using quantum dots (QDs).
    • Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are known for energy efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Introduce a novel quantum dot cascade VCSEL (QDC-VCSEL) concept.
    • Design and predict features of a QDC-VCSEL operating at 4.5 µm.
    • Investigate the performance and design dependencies of QDC-VCSELs.

    Main Methods:

    • Optimized cavity and active region for TE mode using high contrast gratings.
    • Developed rate equations for the cascade scheme to analyze laser characteristics.
    • Studied the impact of design parameters, particularly carrier tunneling time, on performance.

    Main Results:

    • Predicted QDC-VCSEL performance at 4.5 µm wavelength.
    • Achieved output peak powers of ~2 mW at 150 K and ~0.5 mW at 273 K.
    • Demonstrated that increased tunneling time reduces modulation bandwidth and increases threshold current.

    Conclusions:

    • The QDC-VCSEL concept successfully combines QD laser advantages with VCSEL efficiency.
    • Design optimization is crucial for achieving desired performance metrics.
    • Carrier tunneling time is a key parameter influencing QDC-VCSEL characteristics.
