摘要：
Distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) not only serve as high-reflectance mirrors to define the laser cavity of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), but they also must conduct electricity, confine currents, and provide a single-crystal template for the gain region of the laser. Basic optical and electrical properties of DBRs are presented in this article. Three examples of DBR structures used in VCSEL applications from the ultraviolet to the infrared are given to illustrate the complexity and range of materials science issues that are encountered in DBR growth. Fabrication issues are also discussed.
