Abstract

A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) (10) and a method for manufacturing the VCSEL (10). The VCSEL (10) includes a ridge structure (34), a first confinement layer (36) disposed adjacent to a portion of the ridge structure (34), and a second confinement layer (37) disposed on the first confinement layer (36) and disposed adjacent to a portion of the ridge structure (32). Carriers injected into the ridge structure (34) are confined by the first confinement layer (36).
