Transverse-mode control in VCSELs by electrically tunable liquid crystal mode filters

A distinctive method is used to achieve transverse-mode control by building and integrating a tunable liquid crystal (LC) mode filter on top of traditional vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). An LC cell is fabricated by injecting a type of nematic LC material (E7) in an annular groove...
