Abstract :
The simulation method presented above will be applied to various VCSEL design configurations in order to obtain comparative information about the utility of certain design features. We show the three dimensional fundamental mode pattern of a standard oxide confined VCSEL with a l /spl mu/m diameter oxide aperture which occupies the first DBR layer. Design parameters which will be tested include oxide placement, oxide thickness, tapering of the oxide tip, and DBR design, amongst others.
