Properties of small-aperture selectively oxidized VCSELs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:458140

We report an analysis of the size dependence of VCSEL threshold which agrees with experimental results. The increasing threshold current density of small area VCSELs arises from both increasing threshold gain and increasing leakage current.
