Abstract

We have theoretically and experimentally studied optical emission from the side faces of mesa structures for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The results of spatially resolved spectral measurements show that a new type of lasing modes is found in VCSELs with circular mesa structures, which corresponds to the π mode propagation along the mesa diameter with reflection from the sloped walls and the bottom Bragg mirror.
