Abstract :
Summary form only given. Recent increases in data traffic have motivated research into vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) penetrating into single mode regimes as well as multimode fiber links. For these applications, a VCSEL with single mode operation has been demanded. We investigate a VCSEL structure laterally confined by a 2D-photonic crystal using the effective index model.
