Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diodes are among the youngest members of the semiconductor laser diode family. The main aim of our work focuses on the measurement of the basic properties (the spectral range of the laser emission, temperature and current tunability) of experimental VCSEL diode lasers based on GaSb operating in the infrared region around 4250 cm−1.
A high-resolution FTIR Bruker IFS 120 HR spectrometer with a maximum resolution of 0.0035 cm−1 was used in the emission setup for the laser diagnostic research. The absorption spectra of atmospheric pollutants like methane, carbon monoxide and ammonia have been measured using these VCSELs for the first time.
