High power single-longitudinal-mode OP-VECSEL at 1.55 µm with hybrid metal-metamorphic Bragg mirror

Abstract

A report is presented on an optically-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface‐emitting laser at 1.55 µm with an hybrid metal-metamorphic Bragg mirror on a SiC substrate. Output power up to 80 mW at room temperature is achieved, and 77 mW in single-longitudinal-mode operation.
