Abstract
Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are interesting due to their single longitudinal mode operation, a circularly symmetric optical mode profile, and surface normal light emission. These characteristics make them ideal light sources in both free space optical communication systems and in short haul optical fiber communication systems.
