ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a photonic crystal defect structure for a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). In accordance with the invention, a set of holes is formed in a pattern with one or more missing holes forming a defect in the pattern of the photonic crystal, according to a proscribed depth, hole diameter, and pattern pitch which will insure operation in a single transverse mode.
