Abstract

Paper presents results of our numerical simulation of an operation of the GaInNAs/GaAs vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) emitting the 1.3-μm radiation. Thermal properties of two various VECSEL assembly configurations have been compared with the aid of the finite-element-method model. Moreover, optical properties of resonant and anti-resonant designs of laser sub-cavity have been analysed and compared.
