Backstory: VCSEL Breakthrough, 1989
Jun 2, 2019 — Thursday, May 11, 1989 It was the first test of our first attempt to fabricate VCSELs. They lit up! Thousands of VCSELs on a crumb-size chip lased readily with low threshold currents (1s of mA), the smallest lasers in the world. The original ~6- × 8-mm2 chip held over a million of them. It was hard to fathom, especially since we’d never before designed or built a diode laser. Seasoned laser experts had laughed at our audaciousness and scorned our intercompany collaboration. But
