Dynamic properties of silicon-integrated short-wavelength hybrid-cavity VCSEL
Paper in proceeding, 2016

We present a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) where a GaAs-based “half-VCSEL” is attached to a dielectric distributed Bragg reflector on silicon using ultra-thin divinylsiloxane-bis-benzocyclobutene (DVS-BCB) adhesive bonding, creating a hybrid cavity where the optical field extends over both the GaAs- and the Si-based parts of the cavity. A VCSEL with an oxide aperture diameter of 5 μm and a threshold current of 0.4 mA provides 0.6 mW output power at 845 nm. The VCSEL exhibits a modulation bandwidth of 11 GHz and can transmit data up to 20 Gbps.
