Abstract
The vertical surface-emitting geometry is particularly suitable for microcavity design since the cavity length is already small thanks to highly reflective quarter-wavelength-stack mirrors. In this paper, a theoretical study of the static, dynamic, and spectral characteristics of microcavity lasers obtained by shrinking the lateral cavity dimensions with strained quantum well active regions optimized for threshold performance is presented
