Transverse Mode Dynamics of VCSELs through a Space-Time Domain Simulation,
Peter M. Goorjian and C. Z. Ning, paper #3625-45, presented at the Photonics West Optoelectronics '99 Symposium of SPIE at the San Jose Convention Center on January 27,1999. Available in the proceedings or by request from Peter Goorjian.
The Movie shows the intensity of the light field for 5 cases. Part 1 shows a steady light field. Parts 2-5 show dynamic light fields. The time duration of each dynamic field is 138 picoseconds. For each of the dynamic cases, the dynamic field is followed by a time averaged light field, which was averaged over 3.3 nanoseconds.
