Abstract :
A novel passive-antiguide buried-heterostructure vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is demonstrated which emits a single fundamental mode at high currents for an aperture as large as 16 mu m diameter. A simple theoretical calculation is performed and agrees well with the experimental results.
