Abstract
A microscopically motivated nonequilibrium theory is applied to study the power characteristics of an in-well pumped vertical external cavity surface emitting Laser for varying pump energies. Dynamic simulations yield steady state nonequilibrium carrier distributions resulting in gain reduction due to kinetic hole burning. Pauli blocking effects become prominent for more resonant pumping and increased pump powers. The reduced pump absorption results in a sublinear input-output power characteristics even for the optimized case where heating of the active mirror plays no role.
