Abstract:
A method of making an organic vertical cavity laser array device, comprising:a) providing a substrate; b) providing a first portion of a bottom dielectric stack reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths and being disposed over the substrate; c) forming an etched region in the top surface of the first portion of the bottom dielectric stack to define an array of spaced laser pixels which have higher reflectance than the interpixel regions so that the array emits laser light; d) forming a second portion of the bottom dielectric stack over the etched first portion; e) forming an active region over the second portion of the bottom dielectric stack for producing laser light; and f) forming a top dielectric stack over the active region and spaced from the bottom dielectric stack and reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths.
