Yg. Zhao et Jg. Mcinerney, TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF TRANSVERSE-MODE EVOLUTION IN VERTICAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS, Chinese Physics Letters, 12(3), 1995, pp. 160-163
We have observed time-resolved spectra and spontaneous near-field prof
iles of vertical cavity surface-emitting laser, and have considered po
ssible reasons for the origin of multiple transverse modes. The result
s show that, even under low-duty pulsed operation, the evolution of te
mperature profiles plays a dominant role in determing the transverse m
ode behaviour.
