Résumé
Abstract

Nous présentons la conception, la fabrication et les caractéristiques de lasers à cavité verticale accordables en longueur d'onde mettant en œuvre une configuration hybride et une configuration en intégration monolithique. Dans les deux cas l'émission laser accordable en longueur d'onde a été obtenue en régime de pompage optique. Un concept de laser monolithique accordable pompé électriquement est également présenté.

We report on the design, fabrication and characteristics of both hybrid and monolithic micro-electro-mechanically wavelength tunable 1.55 μm InP-based Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) structures. Photo-pumped tunable VCSELs are successfully realized using both configurations, and a design for electrically pumped tunable VCSEL is presented.
