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.
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.
