摘要

Abstract

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have emerged as a versatile and promising platform for developing advanced integrated photonic devices and systems due to their low power consumption

high modulation bandwidth

small footprint

excellent scalability

and compatibility with monolithic integration. By combining these unique capabilities of VCSELs with the functionalities offered by micro/nano optical structures (e.g. metasurfaces)

it enables various versatile energy-efficient integrated photonic devices and systems with compact size

enhanced performance

and improved reliability and functionality. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art versatile integrated photonic devices/systems based on VCSELs

including photonic neural networks

vortex beam emitters

holographic devices

beam deflectors

atomic sensors

and biosensors. By leveraging the capabilities of VCSELs

these integrated photonic devices/systems open up new opportunities in various fields

including artificial intelligence

large-capacity optical communication

imaging

biosensing

and so on. Through this comprehensive review

we aim to provide a detailed understanding of the pivotal role played by VCSELs in integrated photonics and highlight their significance in advancing the field towards efficient

compact

and versatile photonic solutions.
