A brief summary of both VCSEL technology and guided-mode grating resonant filters (GMGRFs) is presented. We then discuss benefits and issues of integrating the two technologies, emphasizing control of wavelength, polarization, and laser cavity modes. We present a GMGRF design suitable for a 980 nm InGaAs VCSEL and show that a significant loss (-4%) in reflectivity results from the slight loss associated with the minimum mirror conductivity required to inject current through the mirror. Experimental data are presented at 850 mm for gratings designed for and fabricated on fused silica substrates and illustrate that GMGRFs are also very sensitive to other forms of loss such as scatter caused by roughness in the grating lines. We suggest a hybrid approach of a GMGRF on a reduced distributed Bragg reflector stack as a means to circumvent the high sensitivity to loss in the GMGRF.
