Abstract
The results of the development of vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers based on AlxGa1-xAs and InyGa1-yAs solid solutions are presented. Developed lasers demonstrate stable single-mode operation at a wavelength of 794.9 nm and 894.6 nm, which offers the prospects of their applications in miniature quantum frequency standards operating at the transition 5S1/2→5P1/2 of 87Rb and 133Cs atoms.
