A. Onischenko et J. Sarma, ANALYSIS OF VERTICAL AND INPLANE SPONTANEOUS EMISSION IN LARGE-DIAMETER VCSELS, IEE proceedings. Optoelectronics, 144(1), 1997, pp. 39-43
The planar multilayer dielectric structure (PMLS) has been used as a m
odel for large diameter vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, to an
alyse the vertical and in-plane components of spontaneous emission (SE
), Both lambda and lambda/2 cavities have been considered. Calculation
s show a high level of in-plane SE for both cases, The results are dis
cussed in the context of recent experimental measurements of in-plane
emission in VCSELs.
