Abstract :
Self-consistent modeling of threshold characteristics of an InP-based 1300-nm AlInGaAs photonic-crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting diode laser is presented. It shows that a shallow photonic crystal deteriorates the VCSEL characteristics, however deeper, optimized etching assures low threshold.
