Abstract

In this paper, we present the first comprehensive, self-consistent model of dielectric-mirror etched-well surface emitting lasers (DMEWLs) operating at long-wavelengths. The model features a realistic, current-dependent distribution of heat sources and incorporates calculation of lasing threshold, taking into account optical losses due to diffraction, scattering, free-carrier absorption, and intervalence-band absorption
