Abstract
We report on the design and characterization of multi-mirror vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) that achieve linewidths less than 2 MHz. We have fabricated all-semiconductor multi-mirror VCSELs at 850 nm that operate in a single mode and are suitable for high-resolution spectroscopy. Cold-cavity linewidth measurements confirm increased quality factors relative to standard VCSEL resonators. Frequency noise power spectral density measurements exhibit 1/f noise and white-noise floors consistent with Lorentzian linewidths less than 2 MHz.
