Abstract: | A new technique for analyzing the single-mode condition and mode discrimination of high-order modes in photonic crystal VCSEL
is proposed and reported in this paper. The technique proposed is a semi-empirical approach that uses analytical analysis
based on experimental data. For that purpose, single- and multimode photonic crystal VCSEL devices are fabricated and characterized
for comparison of device performance. The mode width for first- and second-order mode of PhC VCSEL is computed for analyzing
the mode behavior. In order to verify the findings, the fabricated single- and multimode devices are analyzed using finite
difference frequency domain technique for the purpose of showing the loss as a function of mode order for the PhC VCSEL. The
results show close agreement between the computed and experiment findings, justifying the use of the proposed semi-empirical
technique for analyzing single-mode condition and of high-order modes discrimination in photonic crystal VCSEL. |
