Analysis of structurally sensitive loss in GaN-based VCSEL cavities and its effect on modal discrimination

Nicolas Grandjean, Gatien Cosendey

Lateral loss causes optical energy to leave the laser cavity in the transverse, lateral, direction, and is sometimes neglected to simplify the numerical simulations. However, in contrast to outcoupling and absorption losses, we show that the lateral loss c ...
