Abstract
The key component of a quantum cascade vertical cavity surface emitting laser (QC VCSEL) is a monolithic high-contrast grating (MHCG) that replaces one of the distributed Bragg mirrors (DBR). The grating induces the polarization component necessary to stimulated emission in quantum cascade active regions embedded in MHCG. The complex electrical and optical phenomena defining the performance of the structure depends on the grating parameters (stripes dimensions, position, thickness and doping concentrations). This work presents optimization of QC VCSELs that is aimed to achieve minimal thresholds currents in the pulse operation regime.
