Abstract

Selected results of a numerical analysis of the spatial part of the optical mode in photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) is introduced. It is shown that such a structure provides different propagation constants for different spatial modes which can result in larger optical feedback for LP₀₁ optical mode in comparison with other modes guided by the photonic crystal defect.
