Ultra-Low Threshold Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers for USAF applications

This report summarizes research on the development of ultra-low threshold vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. This in-house lab task, supported by AFOSR under LRIR 2305DW01, was initiated by Dr. John Loehr, with AFOSR Program Manager Dr. Alan Craig. In 2001, Dr. Thomas Nelson became the in- house project lead on this effort, with AFOSR management transferred first to Dr. Kent Miller, and most recently to Dr. Gernot Pomrenke. This task was initiated in March 1996, and this report covers roughly the time period of March 1996 - December 2002.Air Force Research Lab Wright-Patterson AFB OH Sensors Directorate is the author of 'Ultra-Low Threshold Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers for USAF applications' with ISBN 9781423522164 and ISBN 1423522168.
