Abstract :
The paper presents comparisons of modeling and experiments to analyze and optimize MEMS-tunable vertical- cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) operating at wavelengths around 1.55 mum. The experimental findings are compared with the theoretical results provided by VELM, an efficient code based on the coupled mode model and adapted for the first time to handle curved-mirror geometries.
