Abstract
Surface-emitting diode lasers have recently made significant advances because of the emergence of a variety of applications
such as optical interconnects, optical computing, communications or diode-pumped solid-state lasers. These devices can be
roughly grouped into three types based on their cavity configurations. The paper will examine the concepts, fabrication techniques
and operating characteristics associated with each type of laser. The performance of monolithic arrays of surface-emitting
diode lasers will also be discussed.
