Background:

The MINILASE software is a semiconductor laser simulator.
Current capabilities focus on edge-emitting lasers.
Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) present unique optical challenges due to reduced index guiding and significant gain guiding.

Purpose of the Study:

To extend the MINILASE simulator for accurate VCSEL modeling.
To develop a new optical solver for VCSELs.
To present the capabilities of the enhanced MINILASE software.

Main Methods:

The electronic system analysis for VCSELs is adapted from existing edge-emitting laser models.
A new optical mode solver is developed, moving from passive to active cavity modes.
An integral eigenvalue equation is formulated for gain amplitudes and modal fields.

Main Results:

The extended MINILASE simulator can now model VCSELs.
A novel active cavity mode approach has been successfully implemented.
Early results from the gain eigenvalue solver demonstrate the approach's potential.

Conclusions:

MINILASE has been successfully extended to simulate VCSELs.
The new active cavity mode approach is a viable method for VCSEL optical analysis.
The enhanced MINILASE offers advanced capabilities for VCSEL research and development.
