文摘Lateral oxidation in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) is described,and its characteristics are investigated.A linear growth law is found for stripe mesas. However, oxide growth (above 435℃ ) follows a nonlinear law for the two geometry mesa structures which we employ in VCSEL. Theoretical analysis indicates that mesa structure geometry influences oxide growth rate at higher temperatures.
