Zusammenfassung:	The disclosure describes VCSELs operable to produce very narrow divergent light beams. The narrow divergent beam can be obtained, in part, by incorporating an additional epitaxial layer so as to increase the cavity length of the VCSEL. The increased cavity length can result in higher power in fewer larger diameter transverse modes, which can significantly reduce the output beam divergence. The additional epitaxial layer can be incorporated, for example, into a top-emitting VCSEL or bottom-emitting VCSEL.
