Surface plasmon modulated nano-aperture vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers were fabricated from common 850nm VCSELs. When the diameter of the aperture was 200nm, and the period of grating was 400nm, the maximum far-field output power reached 0.3mW at a driving current of 15mA. The fabrication process was described and the beaming properties were studied via experimentally and theoretically.
