Abstract

The vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) [lJ is meeting the 3rd generation of development in 1999 and the deadline of the S. Y. Wang's prophecy is approaching a few years ahead. Actually, it has been being applied into various optical systems such as optical networks, parallel optical interconnects, laser printers, high density optical disks, and so on. We like to review the progress of VCSELs in wide spectral ranges covered by various 111-V compound semiconductors. Some innovating technologies will be discussed.
