A new transmission line microcavity model for vertical cavity surface emitting lasers

摘要

In this paper we present a new transmission line microcavity model for vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL). The model is based on optical wave equations and implemented with state-space techniques to predict the lasing modes and analyze the decay properties of the Fabry-Perot (FP) cavities. The model is used to analyze microcavities in both time and frequency domains in terms of material and physical parameters of the lasers, and provide a simple and fast way to optimize the cavity length, reflective mirror and active region of the lasers.
