The analysis shows that the radial bridge electrodes can reduce the p-type distributed Bragg reflector （p-DBR） electric and thermal resistance, and improve the device beam quality. The high-power radial brigde electrode VCSELs with 200-μm aperture have been made and tested. The testing results show that the differential resistance of the VCSEL is 0.43 Ω and the maximal continuouswave （CW） output power is 340 mW, 1.7 times higher than the conventional electrode device. Its thermal resistance is 0.095℃/mW, and its near-field pattern exhibits a homogeneous distribution. The high-power radial bridge electrode VCSEL has better temperature and opto-electric characteristics.展开更多
