Abstract

In the present paper, a possibility of a manufacturing nitride VCSELs is discussed. It is evident from the analysis, that the VCSEL configurations of nitride lasers need more advanced technology then their edge-emitting counterparts. In particular, extremely high-reflective low- loss resonator mirrors and extraordinarily high quality, uniform structure layers are necessary to reach in nitride VCSELs a laser action at room temperature. Besides, until now there has not been found efficient technological process to define precisely current paths for lateral injection. Nevertheless, a rapid progress in nitride technology is still observed which may finally enable us to manufacture reliable and efficient nitride VCSELs earlier than it is generally expected.
