Abstract

The theoretical background to gain a basic understanding of the dynamic properties of VCSELs is introduced in this chapter. Starting with the standard rate-equations for laser diodes the concept of small-signal modulation analysis and the impact of the oxide-aperture diameter on the dynamic VCSEL properties are explained.
