Abstract :
Summary form only given. Numerous approaches have attempted to increase the single-transverse-mode output power of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). These include external cavity, lossy or anti-guiding, and filtering approaches. For the purpose of commercial production, a monolithic, continuous wave (cw) device incorporating a lossless filter approach is desirable.
