A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) capable of producing long-wavelength light has a substrate of GaSb or InAs, and an active region with alternating quantum wells and barrier layers. The target wavelength range is preferably between 1. 2-1. 4 um. The quantum well is made of GaInSbP, GaInSbAs, AlInSbAs, or AlInSbP, and the barrier layers are made of AlInSbP, AlGaSbP, AlInSbAs, AlGaSbAs, or AlSbPAs. The active region is sandwiched between two mirror stacks that are preferably epitaxially grown Distributed Bragg Reflectors. The active region has large conduction and valence band offsets (E and E ) for effective carrier containment over the wide range of ambient temperatures in which the VCSEL is expected to function. The active region can be designed to have little or no lattice strain on the substrate.
A vertical tri-color sensor having vertically stacked blue, green, and red pixels detects at least blue and green components of incident light by converting the blue and green components to surface plasmons.

Abstract:
A stacked bulk acoustic resonator includes a first piezoelectric layer stacked on a first electrode, a second electrode stacked on the first piezoelectric layer; a second piezoelectric layer stacked on the second electrode, and a third electrode stacked on the second piezoelectric layer. The stacked bulk acoustic resonator further includes an inner raised region formed in an inner portion on a surface of at least one of the first, second and third electrodes, and an outer raised region formed along an outer perimeter on the surface of the at least one of the first, second or third electrodes. The outer raised region surrounds the inner raised region and defines a gap between the inner raised region and the outer raised region.
Material Systems For Long Wavelength Lasers Grown On Inp Substrates
A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) capable of producing long-wavelength light has a substrate of InP and an active region with alternating quantum wells and barrier layers. The target wavelength range is preferably between 1.2-1.4 um. The quantum well is made of AlGaAsSb or GaAsSb, and the barrier layers are made of AlGaAsSb, AlInGaAs, or AlInAs. The active region is sandwiched between two mirror stacks that are preferably epitaxially grown Distributed Bragg Reflectors. The active region has large conduction and valence band offsets (Eand E) for effective carrier containment over the wide range of ambient temperatures in which the VCSEL is expected to function. The active region can be designed to have little or no lattice strain on the InP substrate.
