ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor optoelectronic device includes at least one cavity and one multilayered interference reflector. The cavity is designed preferably to possess properties of an antiwaveguiding cavity, where no optical modes propagate in the lateral plane. The existing optical modes are the modes propagating in the vertical direction or in a direction tilted to the vertical direction at an angle smaller than the angle of the total internal reflection at the semiconductor/air interface. This design reduces the influence of parasitic optical modes and improves characteristics of optoelectronic devices including vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, tilted cavity lasers emitting through the top surface or the substrate, vertical or tilted cavity resonant photodetectors, vertical or tilted cavity resonant optical amplifiers, and light-emitting diodes.
