Abstract
Quantum-cascade lasers (QCL) enable emission in a broad range of infrared radiation unavailable for convectional quantum well bipolar lasers. However in-plane geometry of QCLs hinders achieving properties required in numerous applications which are inherently possessed by vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). In proposed design of QC-VCSEL the role of top mirror and element inducing component of electric field necessary to stimulated emission in quantum cascades is served by subwavelength monolithic high-refractive-index contrast grating (MHCG) in which quantum cascade active region is embedded. This paper based on numerical analysis presents influence of QC-VCSELs configuration details on threshold currents and mode distributions.
