Abstract
In this paper, the Floquet-Bloch theory (FBT) has been applied to the accurate simulation of distributed Bragg reflectors in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). A number of comparisons with other methods largely used in commercial CAD tools is presented. Performance predictions for long-wavelength GaInAsP VCSELs are derived.
