Abstract
Recently, we proposed a novel resonant periodic gain (RPG) structure for surface-emitting (SE) lasers consisting of quantum well (QW) layers spaced at one-half of the lasing wavelength and have demonstrated lasing action with the shortest gain medium length ever reported, we believe.1,2 Here we report a systematic comparison between the new structure and conventional vertical-cavity designs of equivalent active medium length.
