Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting lasers (VCSELs), first invented by Prof. Kenichi Iga of Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1977, possess some unique advantages such as ultra-small footprint, low cost, low power consumption, high-speed, potentials for large scale integration into 2D/3D arrays, and compatibility to the fibre system. At present, VCSELs have wide application prospects in various fields including communication, sensors, neuromorphic computing, etc.
