Numerical Self-Consistent Analysis of VCSELs

Figure 9

Maximal RT CW threshold optical gain (solid line) and wavelength λ (dashed line) of the indicated lowest-threshold LP modes for 20 μm diameter 1.5 λ cavity double-intracavity-contacted GaInNAs/GaAs DQW VCSEL as a function of the distance of the oxide aperture from its antinode position within a laser cavity.
