Abstract

We describe design, numerical simulation and characteristics of high-power optical pumped VECSELs at different wavelength (980nm, and 1300nm). The device design realizes the integrating diode-pumped lasers with vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structure, drawing on the advantages of both. With periodical gain element structure, optical pumped VECSEL is scalable to watt level output. The characteristics such as threshold condition and output power are calculated theoretically. An optimum number of quantum wells and external mirror reflectivity are obtained from the calculation results, and the thermal characteristic is also considered. Finally the calculation results also predict high output power in this kind of device structure.
