Micro‐scale, reflective‐type optical displacement sensors have been developed by monolithic integration of vertical cavity surface‐emitting lasers (VCSELs) and resonant cavity‐enhanced photodetectors (RCEPDs). This compact sensor (700 × 700 μm) consists of an oxide‐confined VCSEL that is surrounded by an RCEPD and can measure the linear distance with a measurement range of ∼10 mm, which is comparable to that of conventional displacement sensors. Fabrication details and sensor performances are discussed.
