Popis: We report long cavity (65 λ ) GaN-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with a topside dielectric concave mirror, an ion implanted current aperture, and a bottomside nanoporous GaN distributed Bragg reflector. Under pulsed operation, a VCSEL with a 10 μ m aperture and a curved mirror with a radius of curvature of 120 μ m had a threshold current density of 14 kA cm ^−2 , and a maximum output power of 370 μ W for a lasing mode at 404.5 nm. The longitudinal performance has a side-mode suppression ratio of 30 dB up to a current density of approximately 40 kA cm ^−2 . Multiple transverse mode profiles are observed across several devices.
