Many-body effects in a semiconductor microcavity laser: experiment and theory

Crawford, M.H.; Choquette, K.D.; Chow, W.W.; Schneider Jr., R.P.

This paper describes a study of the underlying physical mechanisms governing the threshold properties of a VCSEL. In particular, it theoretically and experimentally evaluates the mechanisms that effect the threshold properties as a function of emission wavelength. Other important issues, such as the dependence of the threshold properties on microcavity dimensions, we discussed.
