Abstract

We report on the realization of an optically pumped monolithic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser operating at a wavelength of 511 nm. The structure consists of a ZnSSe lambda-cavity containing three ZnCdSSe quantum wells surrounded by two Bragg reflectors using ZnSSe for the high-index material and MgS/ZnCdSe superlattices for the low-index material. The microresonator has a quality factor of 3200 while the threshold excitation power density for the onset of lasing is 22 kW/cm(2) at room temperature. Micropillars of different diameter fabricated out of this structure show discrete optical modes due to the three dimensional optical confinement of the optical wave.
