Abstract
It has been known for a long time that unstable waveguiding can occur in planar, gain guided stripe lasers. The possible existence of instab ilities can be demonstrated by a very simple waveguide calculation. In this letter the demonstration of possible instabilities is extended t o structures with cylindrical geometry. On the basis of these results is concluded that unstable waveguiding may exist in cylindrical vertic al cavity surface emitting lasers.
