Abstract

This work presents results of theoretical study of semiconductor vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) waveguide incorporated into laser cavity. The model is designed for the understanding and optimization of VCSELs with incorporated PCs. Static and dynamic characteristics were investigated. It was found that the computed modulation response of the VCSEL with the PC has a dip at 1.5 GHz modulation frequency, which has been observed in our experimental results. Therefore, a qualitative agreement with experimental results is observed.
