摘要：
A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) structure has been investigated for single lateral mode operation. The PC confined mode can be controlled by the lattice constant, the hole diameter, the etching depth, and the defect structure. A seven-point defect structure is proposed to enhance the confinement effect, which is diluted by finite hole depth of the PC structure. We obtained a pure PC confined mode under room-temperature cw conditions with a PC lattice constant of 2 mum, hole diameters of 1.0 and 1.4 mum, and depths of 1.85 and 1.92 mum, respectively.
