Published in: SPIE LASE 2022 Authors: A. Filipchuk, K. Nechay, R. Ulkuniemi, S. Talmila, P. Uusimaa  Published in: SPIE LASE 2022 Authors: A. Filipchuk, K. Nechay, R. Ulkuniemi, S. Talmila, P. Uusimaa Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have recently paved their way into the 3D sensing market, specifically in mobile device applications. Vertical emission of VCSELs enables arranging single emitters into high-power 2D arrays. Thus, VCSEL arrays require efficient heat management which can be implemented by the means of packaging, both to improve thermal conductivity and to keep VCSEL chips intact. This becomes particularly important when considering also very high-density laser arrays and 2D matrices for quantum Continue reading →
