Abstract

The surface-emitting laser began to be considered one of the crucial devices for the next generation of optoelectronics when advantage was taken of its high degree of parallelism. In this chapter, we review the concept of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, mainly consisting of the GaInAsP/InP, GaAlAs/GaAs, and GaInAs/GaAs systems. Their ultimate performance and impact on the electronics industry will be discussed.
