Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is a semiconductor laser that emits laser light perpendicular to the top surface. It is developed based on gallium arsenide semiconductor materials, which is different from LED (light emitting diode) and LD (laser diode). The structure consists of a mirror, an active layer and a metal contact layer. The two emitting mirrors are P-type and N-type Bragg emitters respectively. The active region is composed of quantum hydrazine, and a metal contact layer is made on the outer surface of the P-type DBR to form an ohmic contact, and a circular outlet is made on the P-type DBR to output the laser. It has a small far-field divergence angle, and the divergence angle beam is narrow and round; and the threshold current is low and the modulation frequency is high, which can reach 300KHz. Wavelength tuning can be achieved by changing the laser current and temperature. It is designed for high-speed fiber optic communication with built-in TEC and PD packaging.

Experimental data
We conducted relevant experiments on VCSEL lasers and measured the relationship between the voltage, current and wavelength, as well as the frequency of the VCSEL lasers.

VCSEL laser measurement base
Voltage vs. Wavelength
We load the laser with a voltage of 4-18V, increase the voltage by one point every 2V, and measure the data as shown above. We will find that as the voltage increases, the wavelength decreases by about 8nm, presenting a negative and nearly linear curve.
Relationship between current and wavelength
We kept the voltage constant and adjusted the current from 13 to 25mA, testing it every 3mA. We found that with current adjustment, the wavelength size changed significantly and presented a positive linear curve.
Loading different frequency variations
Loading 5V voltage, 20KHz frequency waveform
Loading 5V voltage, 60KHz frequency waveform
Loading 5V voltage, 40KHz frequency waveform
Loading 5V voltage, 80KHz frequency waveform
Loading 5V voltage, 100KHz frequency waveform
Loading 5V voltage, 120KHz frequency waveform
Loading 5V voltage, 140KHz frequency waveform
Fix the voltage to 5V and adjust the frequency value to get the above figure. Our modulation frequency is very high, which can carry more information and respond faster.
Structure
The generation of VCSEL laser mainly consists of three parts, namely, laser working material, pump source and optical resonant cavity. The pump source is used to excite the working material, forming a particle number inversion and emitting laser. In the resonant cavity composed of the bottom and top reflectors, the oscillation is amplified in the laser cavity and output from the top reflector. The output light is only concentrated in the middle part without the oxide layer, forming a vertical cavity surface laser emission, thereby obtaining a stable, continuous, high-quality laser with a certain power.
