abstract = {A new mid-infrared (MIR) Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser
(VCSEL) structure is proposed. We have integrated to the VCSEL
structure both an oxide aperture for lateral confinement, and a
sub-wavelength high-contrast-grating top mirror. Upon the
GaSb-based half-VCSEL, we have grown a metamorphic AlGaAs
heterostructure to enable thermal oxidation and grating mirror
fabrication steps. A methodology based on optimization and
anti-optimization methods has been used to design the optical
grating, with improved parameter tolerances regarding processing
errors. Finally, we show the complete fabrication of an
electrically-pumped MIR monolithic VCSEL structure implementing
both oxide confinement and a subwavelength grating top mirror.}
