Abstract

An accurate first-principles analysis to probe the threshold properties of selectively oxidized vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) were developed. The analysis indicates that in order to achieve ultralow threshold, oxide aperture scattering loss and leakage currents must be addressed. The agreement between calculations and experiment solidify the understanding and enable the identification of fundamental limitations of low threshold VCSEL operation. The performance and analysis of modified VCSEL designs are presented.
