Abstract
The results of the development of vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers based on Al\({}_{x}\)Ga\({}_{1-x}\)As and In\({}_{y}\)Ga\({}_{1-y}\)As solid solutions are presented. Developed lasers demonstrate stable single-mode operation at wavelengths of 794.9 and 894.6 nm, which offers the prospects of their applications in miniature quantum frequency standards based on \({}^{87}\)Rb and \({}^{133}\)Cs.
