Abstract
We investigate the beam divergence in far-field region, diffraction loss and optical confinement factors of all-semiconductor and void-semiconductor photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs), containing either InGaP/GaAs or InGaP/air photonic crystals using a three-dimensional FDTD model. We explore the impact of changing the PC hole shape, size, and lattice structure in addition to the choice of all-semiconductor or void-semiconductor designs. We discuss the determination of the threshold gain from the diffraction losses, and explore limitations to direct modulation of the PCSEL.
