Popis: We show how VCSELs with elongated shapes of the emission area can achieve higher output powers and wall-plug efficiency compared to standard circular or quadratic VCSELs. We identified an improved homogeneity of the carrier concentration in the quantum wells as well as a reduced thermal resistance as the main reasons for the better performance of the rectangular shaped VCSELs presented in this article.
