Abstract

We provide an overview of the issues and progresses of semiconductor based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for optical information processing applications. Targeting several important VCSEL structures which have been reported to be effective in improving the characteristics of threshold, transverse modes, polarization and high speed modulation, we discuss physical origin and design parameters for the control of these characteristics.
