VERTICAL CAVITY LASER INCLUDING INORGANIC SPACER LAYERS

摘要

A vertical cavity laser light producing device includes a substrate; a bottom dielectric stack reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths; and an active region for producing laser light. The device also includes a top dielectric stack spaced from the bottom dielectric stack and reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths; and the active region includes one or more periodic organic gain region(s) and inorganic spacer layers disposed on either side of the periodic organic gain region(s) and arranged so that the periodic organic gain region(s) is aligned with the antinodes of the device's standing wave electromagnetic field.
