We will give an overview of the progress in ultraviolet-emitting vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and their potential applications in areas such as disinfection and medical therapy. This includes our demonstration of the shortest wavelength VCSEL, emitting at 310 nm under optical pumping, and a detailed analysis of its filamentary lasing characteristics. The UVB-emitting AlGaN-based VCSEL was realized by substrate removal using electrochemical etching, enabling the use of two high-reflectivity dielectric distributed Bragg reflectors. The potential of using this or alternative methods to push the emission to shorter wavelengths will be examined as well as concepts to realize electrically injected devices.
