3D finite element simulation of optical modes in VCSELs
Abstract
We present a finite element method (FEM) solver for computation of optical resonance modes in VCSELs. We perform a convergence study and demonstrate that high accuracies for 3D setups can be attained on standard computers. We also demonstrate simulations of thero-optical effects in VCSELs.
