NEMO tunable VCSEL using ultra compact high contrast grating for high speed tuning

We report a nano-electromechanical optoelectronic (NEMO) tunable VCSEL with a record compact (140 nm times3 mum times3 mum) TE-polarized high contrast grating (HCG). A record high tuning speed of ~60 ns is experimentally demonstrated with single mode operation (SMSR ~ 40 dB).
