Abstract
We demonstrate the first 1050nm MEMS-eVCSEL co-packaged with a wideband amplifier to achieve over 70nm wavelength tuning at over 30mW of output power and SMSR greater than 40dB. Ophthalmic Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) images acquired at 800kHz A-scan rates showcase the telecom grade 14pin butterfly co-package as a path to low cost swept source OCT engines. Device design employs a strain-compensated InGaAs/GaAsP gain region disposed on a wideband fully oxidized GaAs/AlxOy back mirror capable of tuning ranges beyond 100nm. It has been suggested the wideband fully oxidized GaAs/AlxOy back mirror may pose risk to device lifetime reliability. However, over 9000hrs of lifetime testing validates reliability and projects device lifetimes exceed 20,000hrs under continuous use.
