Dramatic progress in surface-emitting lasers in the past year has generated a lot of excitement in this area. Recent results with strained-layer quantum-well lasers detailing low threshold current (0.6 mA) and narrow linewidth operation (85 MHz with a linewidth power product of 5 MHz(DOT)mW) are discussed. Theoretical analysis indicates the potential for increased power output without significant threshold increase.
