Abstract: We report on high-resolution linewidth measurement of proton-implanted bottom-emitting InGaAsP long-wavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) employing
the heterodyne method. Devices with 35micron active diameter exhibit record linewidths of 3.6 MHz and negligible extrapolated linewidth for infinite power, at room temperature. This result relies on the long-cavity-designed VCSEL. The linewidth enhancement factor is also determined.
