Abstract :
Summary form only given. We present the first theoretical treatment of waveguiding in VCSELs that properly includes the effects of the resonant cavity. The resulting treatment immediately suggests new designs for leaky-mode (antiguided) VCSELs that should result in devices operating in the fundamental mode to powers much higher than presently attainable.
