Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper, we describe a study of the underlying physical mechanisms governing the threshold properties of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). In particular, we evaluate the mechanisms that effect the threshold properties as a function of emission wavelength. Other important issues, such as the dependence of the threshold properties on microcavity dimensions, will be discussed.
