This chapter attempts to briefly review the research history of verticalcavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Based on the contents of previous monographs on VCSELs written in English, we motivate the selection of topics in the present book and give an introduction to the individual chapters. Moreover, we mention some other research that is not covered in a dedicated chapter in order to provide the readers with even deeper insights into VCSEL research. Future directions and opportunities are also indicated.

“…An optical near-field technology is one of candidates to make a breakthrough for future optical storages [50,51] surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array was proposed and a metal nano-aperture VCSEL was demonstrated for producing optical near-field localized at the metal nanoaperture [52]. The voltage change induced by scattering in a nano-aperture enables us to use the same nano-aperture VCSEL chip for optical near-field probing [53].…”

Abstract:We had the 30-year anniversary since a VCSEL was invented by Kenichi Iga, Tokyo Institute of Technology. We have seen various applications including datacom, sensors, optical interconnects, spectroscopy, optical storages, printers, laser displays, laser radar, atomic clock, optical signal processing and so on. A lot of unique features have been proven, low power consumption, a wafer level testing and so on. In this paper, the brief history and our recent research activities on VCSEL photonics will be reviewed. We present the wavelength engineering of VCSEL arrays for use in high speed short-reach systems, which includes the wavelength integration and wavelength control. The joint research project on ultra-parallel optical links based on VCSEL technologies will be introduced for high speed LANs of 100 Gbps or higher. The small footprint of VCSELs allows us to form a densely packed VCSEL array both in space and in wavelength. The wavelength engineering of VCSELs may open up ultra-high capacity networking. Highly controlled multi-wavelength VCSEL array and novel multi-wavelength combiners are developed toward Terabit/s-class ultrahigh capacity parallel optical links. In addition, the MEMS-based VCSEL technology enables widely tunable operations. We demonstrated an "athermal VCSEL" with avoiding temperature controllers for uncooled WDM applications. In addition, new functions on VCSELs for optical signal processing are addressed. We present an optical nonlinear phase shifter based on a VCSEL saturable absorber and the tunable optical equalization function.Also, highly reflective periodic mirrors commonly used in VCSELs enables us to manipulate the speed of light. This new scheme provides us ultra-compact intensity modulators, optical switches and so on for VCSEL-based photonic integration. Also, this paper explores plasmonic VCSELs. Vol.6, No.11, 651-672 nol.

“…For these apertures, it is difficult to obtain a small spot size and a high output power simultaneously. In order to overcome this difficulty, researchers have proposed many novel apertures, such as "C"-shaped apertures [4][5][6], "I"-shaped apertures [7,8], "L"-shaped apertures [9], annular apertures [10,11], and bow-tie apertures [12][13][14][15][16]. These apertures have potential for nanoaperture enhanced photodetectors [17], subwavelength waveguides [18], verysmall-aperture lasers [19,20], and in nanolithography [21].…”

Tuning the resonant wavelength of a nanometric bow-tie aperture by altering the relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate

2007

A nanometric bow-tie aperture has a resonant wavelength where its power throughput is maximal. The incident wavelength should coincide with the resonant wavelength in order to improve the power throughput. However, sometimes it is impossible to tune the incident wavelength, so the resonant wavelength should be tuned alternatively. In order to implement this goal, the relative permittivity of the dielectric substrate of the bow-tie aperture was altered. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results demonstrated that the resonant wavelength is tuned from 569.7 nm to 694.1 nm when the relative permittivity is altered from 1.0 to 3.5. The advantage of this method is that the resonant wavelength can be tuned continuously if the relative permittivity can be altered continuously.
