We optimize the wavelength tuning range of a Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser with an
intracavity layer of nematic Liquid Crystal (LC-VCSEL) lasing around 1.3 μm. The tunability …

In this study, a new theoretical calculation of metal-mode-filtered vertical-cavity surface-
emitting laser (MMF-VCSEL) is proposed. The optimized number of P-DBR and the metal …
