Abstract
A three-dimensional, full vectorial model has been applied for investigation the modal characteristics of a phosphide photonic-crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting diode laser. The photonic crystal has been defined as a regular, hexagonal net of holes, etched in the upper, p-type Distributed Bragg Reflector of the laser. The electromagnetic field has been confined to the active region by a single defect of the photonic crystal providing overlapping with carriers funneled by a tunnel junction. We have determined the range of design parameters, which provide single mode operation.
