  • Abstract
    In contrast to the impressive progress of GaN-based edge-emitting lasers in recent years, III-nitride vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) still exhibit severe performance limitations. Using advanced device simulation, this presentation evaluates design and material issues with different GaN-VCSEL concepts and identifies performance limiting internal mechanisms.
