Abstract

The basic issues involved in the growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are discussed. Successful VCSEL optical information processing applications demonstrated to date are discussed, including two-dimensional arrays, holographic memory retrieval, optical addressing, wavelength division multiplexing, and tunable VCSEL operation.
