Abstract

A new method to estimate the spontaneous emission factor β is proposed and applied to 780 nm oxidized vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). An input-output equation for the fundamental mode at below threshold is obtained from the static photon and carrier rate equations. Based on the equation, if the mirror loss is known, the β can be experimentally determined by measuring the cavity loss and P versus I. A scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer can be used for measuring the below-threshold cavity loss at different current levels.
