Abstract:
A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) includes a first reflector having a first reflectivity; a second reflector having a second reflectivity, where the second reflectivity is less than the first reflectivity; a gain region between the first and second reflectors; and a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface is coupled to the second reflector, and where the second surface is formed into a lens to act upon light emitted by the VCSEL through the substrate. The VCSEL lases in a single transverse mode.

Claim (Index 3):
The VCSEL of  claim 2 , wherein the first reflector is a distributed Bragg reflector and comprises a first number of pairs of semiconductor layers in a central region of the first reflector and a second number of pairs of semiconductor layers in an outer region surrounding the central region, wherein the first number of pairs is greater than the second number of pairs, and further wherein the central portion has a reflector diameter less than the aperture diameter, and the central portion has a higher reflectivity than the outer region surrounding the central region.
