- Abstract
- A DBR structure in a VCSEL diode, a method of manufacturing the DBR structure, and a VCSEL diode are provided. The DBR structure in the VCSEL diode includes: an InAlGaAs layer having a predetermined refractive index and disposed on an InP substrate; a first InAlAs layer having a lower refractive index than the InAlGaAs layer and disposed on the InAlGaAs layer; an InP layer having a lower refractive index than the InAlGaAs layer and disposed on the first InAlAs layer; and a second InAlAs layer having a lower refractive index than the InAlGaAs layer and disposed on the InP layer. Thus, the DBR structure can reduce optical loss due to type-II band line-up at a junction between the InAlGaAs layer and the InP layer, and thus improve device characteristics.
