Abstract :
The lattice constant of a single-defect photonic crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (PhC-VCSEL) is numerically optimized to achieve the highest single-mode power in the fundamental mode. The simulated results are compared to measured device characteristics, and the different factors influencing the single-mode behavior are analyzed.
