Abstract:
A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) device includes a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure of a first conductivity type, and a second DBR structure of a second conductivity type. The second conductivity type is different than the first conductivity type. The VCSEL includes a cavity positioned between the first DBR structure and the second DBR structure. The cavity includes at least one quantum well structure to generate light. The VCSEL includes a first thermal buffer layer positioned between the cavity and the first DBR structure, and a second thermal buffer positioned between the cavity and the second DBR structure.

Claim (Index 3):
The VCSEL device of  claim 2 , wherein the first thermal buffer layer and the second thermal buffer layer are sufficiently thick to keep the heat generated in the first and second DBR structures from reaching the at least one quantum well structure for a duration of an electrical pulse of the signal.
