Abstract

A semiconductor Bragg reflector and to a method of fabricating it. The reflector comprises a plurality of stacked layers on a substrate of a III-V type material, one of the stacked layers forming a holographic grating. The layer forming the grating comprises an alternating succession of air pockets and of III-V type material. Such a reflector is particularly suitable for use in laser devices.
