Paper Abstract
We present a GaAs-based VCSEL structure, BCB bonded to a Si3N4 waveguide circuit, where one DBR is substituted by
a free-standing Si3N4 high-contrast-grating (HCG) reflector realized in the Si3N4 waveguide layer. This design enables
solutions for on-chip spectroscopic sensing, and the dense integration of 850-nm WDM data communication transmitters
where individual channel wavelengths are set by varying the HCG parameters. RCWA shows that a 300nm-thick Si3N4
HCG with 800nm period and 40% duty cycle reflects strongly (<99%) over a 75nm wavelength range around 850nm. A
design with a standing-optical-field minimum at the III-V/airgap interface maximizes the HCG’s influence on the
VCSEL wavelength, allowing for a 15-nm-wide wavelength setting range with low threshold gain (<1000 cm-1).
